Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence is increasing in Australia and is associated with high mortality. However, there is limited data on the epidemiology of liver cancer in Australia, including the impact.
The project aims to:
2012–2025.
Prospective cohort study with data linkage.
Understanding the rapidly changing trends in the epidemiology of HCC in Victoria is essential to design effective prevention programs.
Treatment approaches to HCC are changing rapidly.
This study will provide evidence for factors that are associated with improved survival outcomes to inform cost-effectiveness modelling.
