J Gastrointest Cancer
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the risk of liver cancer in cirrhotic patients with indeterminate liver nodules, aiming to identify potential predictors for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- - Over a seven-year follow-up of 116 patients, 16% developed HCC, with significant associations found between HCC incidence and factors like smoking, nodule size over 2 cm, and specific LI-RADS scores.
- - The results highlight a concerning trend, with up to 30% of patients at risk for HCC after seven years, emphasizing the need for more intensive monitoring and clearer management strategies for these patients.
