Risk of Malignancy in Indeterminate Liver Nodules Among Patients with Cirrhosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Our findings show a higher incidence of HCC in patients with indeterminate liver nodules, increasing over time and reaching 30% at seven years. Nodules larger than 1-2 cm or LI-RADS 3 lesions pose increased risk for HCC. Enhanced surveillance is necessary given the lack of clear management guidelines.
