Description
Sally Tran and seven co-authors chart liver cancer in the United States in a 2023 study. They used records for tens of thousands of insured patients across nearly two decades. Causes of this cancer can shift as treatments for liver diseases improve, so they tracked both causes and survival over time.
Fatty liver disease not tied to alcohol was the most common cause, ahead of hepatitis C. Patients in the later years were older, had more other illnesses, and more often had non-viral causes. Survival over five years was low overall and slightly worse in the later period. The authors say the changing cause mix needs attention in care and planning.
