In a cohort of 141 patients with cirrhosis collected during the year 1995, we conducted a surveillance program by performing liver ultrasonography and blood alpha-foetoprotein measurement every 6 months. The median follow-up was 34 months. This study addressed to two questions: the compliance to the surveillance schedule according to the aetiology of cirrhosis and the results in terms of emergence of HCC and outcome. Aetiology of cirrhosis was alcohol-induced in 86 (61%), HCV-related in 30 (21%) and from other origins in 25 (18%). Compliance to the program schedule was good in patients with HCV-related cirrhosis (29/30--97%) and patients with cirrhosis of \"other origins\" (20/25--80%) but was poor in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (45/86--52%). The lack of compliance was significantly linked to the failure to achieve alcohol abstinence. During follow-up, 6 HCC lesions were observed in 6 male patients with median age of 68 years. All 6 HCC were single nodule, less than 4 cm and accessible to percutaneous acetic acid injection. Nevertheless, the outcome was disappointing, four patients dying 3-15 months later (median: 8 months), two of them with extensive HCC. One of the two patients still alive developed extensive HCC, 36 months after percutaneous acetic acid injection.</p>","PeriodicalId":50942,"journal":{"name":"Acta Gastro-Enterologica Belgica","volume":"63 1","pages":"5-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21748732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
