From: HCC surveillance results in earlier HCC detection: results from an Indian cohort
Impact of disease stage and surveillance on survival. A. Improved Survival After Early Diagnosis of HCC. Patients diagnosed at an earlier stage of HCC lived significantly longer after diagnosis than patients diagnosed at a later stage (Stage 0/A: 15.6 ± 14.2 months vs. Stage B/C: 9.43 ± 19.7 months vs. Stage D: 5.59 ± 11.9 months; p = 0.0006). B. Surveillance for HCC Does Not Improve Survival. Despite the finding that surveillance led to increased diagnosis of early stage HCC, we did not find a difference in the overall survival of patients who did and did not undergo routine surveillance (p > 0.05).
