Longer survival in female than male with hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract

The survival of female cases of HCC was longer than that of male cases. Disparities in the type of follow-up for women in comparison to men exist and may contribute to gender disparities in survival. Women with a high risk for HCC tended to be better cared for during the follow-up. To reduce gender disparities in survival, efforts should be directed at the earlier identification of HCC.
