Predicting long-term survival among patients with HCC.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prognosticating survival among patients with HCC and cirrhosis must account for both the tumor burden/stage, as well as the severity of the underlying liver disease. Although there are many staging systems used to guide therapy, they have not been widely adopted to predict patient-level survival after the diagnosis of HCC. We sought to develop a score to predict long-term survival among patients with early- to intermediate-stage HCC using purely objective criteria.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study among patients with HCC confined to the liver, without major medical comorbidities within the Veterans Health Administration from 2014 to 2023. Tumor data were manually abstracted and combined with clinical and laboratory data to predict 5-year survival from HCC diagno
