TL;DR: Resection could result in survival benefit over LRT for HCC patients regardless of their BCLC stage, provided that liver dysfunction (Child B or MELD>9) and PST>1 are absent.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis in Italy is higher than previously reported, but lower than that observed in Asiatic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In inexperienced hands, SICUS is a more accurate technique for assessing CD lesions, and the accuracy is better than that of TUS performed by an expert sonologist.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
