What is the Prognosis for Hepatocellular Carcinoma?
The prognosis for hepatocellular carcinoma varies depending on several factors, including the stage at diagnosis, liver function, and response to treatment. Early-stage HCC that is successfully treated with surgical resection or transplantation offers the best prognosis. However, for advanced stages, the prognosis is generally poor, with limited treatment options and lower survival rates. Ongoing research aims to improve outcomes through the development of novel therapies and early detection methods.
