Declining US Hepatocellular Carcinoma Rates, 2014-2017.

ABSTRACT: Liver cancer is a prominent cause of cancer death in the United States.¹ Rates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common histologic subtype,² increased for decades,³ until recent years when rates flattened,⁴ and then potentially declined. Previously, we reported that US HCC rates in 2016 were 4% lower than 2015⁵; however, it was unclear from those data whether that finding reflected a true downward trend. Here, we examine HCC rates through 2017.
