Description
Yuting Yang and colleagues test in 2026 a combined score for forecasting survival after liver cancer surgery across two Chinese hospitals. Records covered 1,174 patients operated between 2014 and 2024. A fibrosis index from routine blood work, a tumor marker called AFP, and their blend were compared head to head.
The fibrosis index alone failed as an independent predictor. The tumor marker predicted both recurrence-free and overall survival on its own. The blend beat both, predicting outcomes in every cancer stage subgroup where each single measure failed somewhere. Chart accuracy also favored the blend, though absolute discrimination stayed modest.
