5-year relative survival rates for liver cancer. These numbers are based on people diagnosed with cancers of the liver (or intrahepatic bile ducts) between 2013 and 2019. *SEER = Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results. In general, survival rates are higher for people who can have surgery to remove their cancer, regardless of the stage.
The five-year relative survival rate (people alive five years after their diagnosis) for people with HCC is 21%. But many factors contribute to life expectancy, including how advanced HCC is, your liver’s overall health and your response to treatment.
Life expectancy for liver cancer such as hepatocellular carcinoma is often expressed in 5-year survival rates, that is, how many people will be alive 5 years after diagnosis. Liver cancer 5-year survival rates: Localized (no sign cancer has spread outside the liver): 33%.
FindingsThis cohort study of 3441 adults with hepatocellular carcinoma showed that while overall survival remains low, there have been significant improvements in disease-specific and overall survival over the past decade, particularly among patients with early-stage disease undergoing curative treatments.
The best survival rates in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are achieved with liver transplantation, whether performed as a first or as subsequent step, with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 80%.
Therapy selection is mainly based on tumor size, number of tumors, the extent of extrahepatic invasion, performance status, biochemical profile, severity of liver disease and complexity of comorbidity.
The median age of the clinical presentation of HCC is 69 years. Cirrhotic-related HCC patients may present with symptoms of decompensated liver failure, including worsening jaundice, pruritus, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, palpable mass in the upper abdomen, fever, malaise, weight loss, early satiety, abdominal distension, and cachexia.
Results: A total of 63,996 patients (80% men) with a median age of 68 years (Q 1, Q 3: 61, 77) were selected, including 24,007 patients who underwent at least one procedure (5-year survival of 45.5%; (95% CI: 44.8-46.2), and 39,989 with none (5-year survival, 9.6%; (95% CI: 9.3-10.0).
Untreated, hepatitis C can lead to liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma. Learn about life expectancy & prognosis, plus options for support.
Long-term survival after hepatocellular cancer (HCC) is difficult to achieve likely related to recurrence. This study aimed to identify factors that were predictive of 10-year survival after the diagnosis of HCC.
