Liver cancer is a prominent cause of cancer death in the United States. Rates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common histologic subtype, increased for decades, until recent years when rates flattened, and then potentially declined. Previously, we reported that US HCC rates in 2016 were 4% lower than 2015; however, it was unclear from those data whether that finding reflected a true downward trend. Here, we examine HCC rates through 2017.
肝癌是美国癌症死亡的主要原因。几十年来，肝细胞癌（HCC）的发病率一直在上升，这是最常见的组织学亚型，直到近年来才趋于平稳，然后可能有所下降。此前，我们报告称，2016 年美国 HCC 发病率比 2015 年低 4%；然而，从这些数据中尚不清楚这一发现是否反映了真正的下降趋势。在这里，我们通过 2017 年的数据来研究 HCC 的发病率。
