John, on 11-2014 you posted that you were cirrhotic. Have you had any further testing since then to determine your degree of fibrosis? You do know that HCC is most prevalent in cirrhotics and that regression to lesser degree of fibrosis is possible over time after SVR. Our own mallani (Malcolm) is a good example. See his thread about his regression HERE.

Here's a few numbers I found.

Also, this video has been posted before which gives some information about regression.

Definitely not 50/50. The most I've heard was 20%. Much less if you don't drink alcohol and maintain a healty lifestyle. And a lot show improvement back to non cirrhotic so your chances would be even less over time. Keep as healthy as you can and keep up with your screening tests. It's a possibility, and it's much more likely to not happen then happen.

If you developed stage F4 or cirrhosis you are in the risk group. As my doctor says it's 50/50 - yes or no
Around 25% of developed cirrhosis can lead to HCC. If the cirrhosis is progressing the chances increase by 1-3% every year. If you don't have cirrhosis or F4 you are with very good chances off the risk group. Consuming alcool increases the chances to end up with cirrhosis and HCC in 100 times.

Seriously, you just need a 6 month cycle ultrasound follow-up, bloodwork and CT-scan or MRI if any concern after ultrasound like I am. It permits to doctor detect early cancer and irradiate it, burn it.
Every 6 month till the end No alcool. balanced food, active life.

Hi John,

Congrats on SVR!

I think it depends on a number of factors (e.g. If you do not start drinking alcohol after treatment, the amount of damage to the liver ... stage of Fibrosis, amount of regression of liver damage since Tx etc).

Here's a link that might help.

Be Well,

Dave

Not sure how accurate this is but my hepologist said 5% more chance than somebody without cirrhosis so not too alarming. Less if you don't have cirrhosis. And that would decrease with healing. I'm on the 6 month screening cycle for ultrasound and 3 months for bloodwork until further notice.

Any new information on chances of liver cancer chances after hep c treatment is successful?  I can't find any articles on that.
