Liver Stiffness Values to Predict Occurrence and Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Globally, liver cancer is the third most frequent etiology of cancer death, with the rates of occurrence of both new cases and mortality estimated to increase. Given the availability of multiple treatments, interdisciplinary management of the patient is crucial. Moreover, the diagnostic assessment of patients with severe liver fibrosis is essential for the staging of HCC and liver cirrhosis and early diagnosis of HCC. In this context, non-invasive evaluation plays a critical role in identifying prognostic factors of clinical application for the surveillance of the occurrence or recurrence of HCC. The new frontiers of transient elastography have become a useful tool to assess the risk of HCC occurrence and recurrence. There has been a major increase in studies investigating the cutoff liver
