Inadequate Hepatocellular Carcinoma Screening in Patients With Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Cirrhosis
Conclusions:
There is suboptimal HCC surveillance in NASH and HCV cirrhotic patients, with a greater proportion of patients with NASH cirrhosis not undergoing surveillance. Patients with NASH cirrhosis who had complete surveillance had smaller tumors at diagnosis, but there were no differences in treatment outcomes or mortality.
