Franco Trevisani,Maria Chiara Cantarini,Antonello M M Labate,Stefania De Notariis,Gianludovico Rapaccini,Fabio Farinati,Paolo Poggio,Maria Anna Di Nolfo,Luisa Benvegnù,Marco Zoli,Franco Borzio,Mauro Bernardi +11 more
TL;DR: Surveillance for HCC improves the survival of elderly cirrhotic patients by expanding the percentage of cancers amenable to effective treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors That Affect Efficacy of Ultrasound Surveillance for Early Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Cirrhosis
Paolo Poggio,Stefano Olmi,Francesca Ciccarese,Mariella Di Marco,Gian Ludovico Rapaccini,Luisa Benvegnù,Franco Borzio,Fabio Farinati,Marco Zoli,Edoardo G. Giannini,Eugenio Caturelli,Maria Chiaramonte,Franco Trevisani +12 more
TL;DR: Based on the analysis of surveillance for HCC in patients with cirrhosis, the efficacy of ultrasound-based screening is acceptable and Ultrasound was least effective in identifying aggressive HCC, and at surveillance intervals of more than 6 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of lead-time bias and its impact on the outcome of surveillance for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Alessandro Cucchetti,Franco Trevisani,A. Pecorelli,Virginia Erroi,Fabio Farinati,Francesca Ciccarese,Gian Lodovico Rapaccini,Mariella Di Marco,Eugenio Caturelli,Edoardo G. Giannini,Marco Zoli,Franco Borzio,Giuseppe Cabibbo,Martina Felder,Antonio Gasbarrini,Rodolfo Sacco,Francesco Giuseppe Foschi,Gabriele Missale,Filomena Morisco,Gianluca Svegliati Baroni,Roberto Virdone,Mauro Bernardi,Antonio Daniele Pinna +22 more
TL;DR: Lead-time bias is the main determinant of the short-term benefit provided by surveillance for HCC, but this benefit becomes factual in a long-term perspective, confirming the clinical utility of an anticipated diagnosis of HCC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and Validation of a New Prognostic System for Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Fabio Farinati,Alessandro Vitale,Gaya Spolverato,Timothy M. Pawlik,T. Huo,Yun Hsuan Lee,Anna Chiara Frigo,A. Giacomin,Edoardo G. Giannini,Francesca Ciccarese,Fabio Piscaglia,Gian Lodovico Rapaccini,Mariella Di Marco,Eugenio Caturelli,Marco Zoli,Franco Borzio,Giuseppe Cabibbo,Martina Felder,Rodolfo Sacco,Filomena Morisco,Elisabetta Biasini,Francesco Giuseppe Foschi,Antonio Gasbarrini,Gianluca Svegliati Baroni,Roberto Virdone,Alberto Masotto,Franco Trevisani,Umberto Cillo +27 more
TL;DR: The ITA.LI.CA prognostic system shows a strong ability to predict individual survival in European and Asian populations and showed optimal discrimination and calibration abilities in Italian patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surveillance for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma: is it effective in intermediate/advanced cirrhosis?
Franco Trevisani,V. Santi,Annagiulia Gramenzi,Maria Anna Di Nolfo,Paolo Poggio,Luisa Benvegnù,Gianludovico Rapaccini,Fabio Farinati,Marco Zoli,Franco Borzio,Edoardo G. Giannini,Eugenio Caturelli,Mauro Bernardi +12 more
TL;DR: Surveillance should be offered to class B patients and maintained for class A patients who migrate to the subsequent class probably because the poor liver function adversely affects the overall mortality and HCC treatments.
