Prediction of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Portuguese Population after Hepatitis C Cure: Comparative Accuracy of Noninvasive Tests (Transient Elastography, FIB-4, and aMAP)
Transient elastography (FibroScan) before SVR was a fair predictor of HCC, being more accurate than FIB-4 and aMAP. Transient elastography values ≤13.7 kPa at baseline, FIB-4 ≤1.6 and aMAP ≤58 were the cutoffs considered of low risk for HCC in a Portuguese cohort of HCV patients after SVR with advanced fibrosis. aMAP score is a risk-based surveillance tool that could improve the current HCC screening strategy, but further validation is needed.
