Description
Pan, Huang, Lu, and Chang study what predicts long survival in early stage liver cancer, using a Taiwan registry. The cancer is a leading cause of cancer death, and early cases can be cured, yet long term outlook factors stay unclear. Their 2025 study follows 1,144 patients diagnosed from 2011 to 2020 through 2023.
Age over 65, worse liver function scores, and non-curative treatment each predicted poorer survival. Cases tied to hepatitis B fared better. Among those living past ten years, tumor free rates were higher and stage advance lower than in the five to ten year group. Curative treatment clearly raised the chance of staying tumor free, the authors report.
