Semiannual Imaging Surveillance Is Associated with Better Survival in Patients with Non-B, Non-C Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Figure 1

Comparison in the survival of HCC patients with and without semiannual imaging surveillance. Survival Kaplan-Meier curves in all NBNC-HCC patients, in those with semiannual surveillance, and in those without are demonstrated. One-year and 2-year survival in all NBNC-HCC patients are 69% and 52%, respectively, while that in those with semiannual surveillance and that in those without semiannual surveillance are 100% and 80%, and 52% and 35% () (a). Survival Kaplan-Meier curves in all B/C-HCC patients, in those with semiannual surveillance and in those without are demonstrated. One-year and 2-year survival in all B/C-HCC patients are 95% and 90%, respectively, while that in those with semiannual surveillance and that in those without semiannual surveillance are 97% and 97%, and 94% and 80% () (b).
