#Surveillance must be done in a population with high risk of that disease. Nevertheless, patients at the higher end of the spectrum (e.g., cirrhosis with Child-Pugh C) carry a restricted #prognosis even with radical therapies. @EleanorBarnesOx @CR_UK @NIHRresearch 1/7
Cirrhotic patients with advanced liver failure or Child-Pugh B with #decompensation are usually not screened for HCC because they could not tolerate effective therapies. This changes if they are listed for transplant, however. 2/7
HCC onset can trigger changes in priority on the list as well as lend someone ineligible for #transplant. It is important, therefore, to maintain surveillance of HCC for this population. 3/7
