Clinical versus radiographical factors associated with hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis in high-risk patients: sizes matter

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate if clinical or radiographic findings can be used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis particularly in high-risk patients. METHODS: This was a prospective study and evaluated factors associated with HCC. RESULTS: There were 260 patients met the study criteria...

description AIM: This study aimed to evaluate if clinical or radiographic findings can be used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis particularly in high-risk patients. METHODS: This was a prospective study and evaluated factors associated with HCC. RESULTS: There were 260 patients met the study criteria: 219 patients (84.23%) were HCC. Two factors significantly associated with HCC: portal vein invasion and the largest mass size. The cutoff point for the largest mass size of 2 cm or over gave sensitivity and specificity for HCC of 83.56 and 87.80%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Portal vein invasion and the largest liver mass of 2 cm or over may be diagnostic factors for HCC in high-risk patients, while clinical factors were not suggestive for HCC.
