Patient-reported barriers are associated with lower hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance rates in patients with cirrhosis.
This study characterized the association between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance receipt and patient knowledge, attitudes, and perceived barriers in a racially diverse and socioeconomically disadvantaged cohort of patients with cirrhosis. It found that patients with cirrhosis are knowledgeable and interested in HCC surveillance; however, patient-reported barriers are associated with lower surveillance rates in clinical practice and represent potential intervention targets to improve HCC surveillance effectiveness.
