Research Article: Effects of Clinical and Tumor Characteristics on Survival in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Bone Metastasis
Abstract:
Recent developments in diagnostic and therapeutic methods have improved the overall survival (OS) of HCC patients. However, most HCC patients are diagnosed at the locally advanced stage. Although extrahepatic metastasis in HCC is uncommon during the initial diagnosis, it is becoming more significant as advancements in the management of intrahepatic lesions have led to improved OS. Given the dismal prognosis of advanced HCC, early diagnosis, and screening become crucial to obtain favorable outcomes. The -year survival rate of advanced HCC is less than %. At the time of HCC diagnosis, –.% of the patients were found to have distant metastasis.,
