Figure 1 First HCC-directed therapy received. Percentage of veterans receiving hepatic resection, liver transplantation, ablative therapies (radiofrequency, microwave, or cryo-ablation), trans-arterial therapies (bland, chemo- or radio-embolization), hospice care, and no active therapy as first intervention stratified by BCLC stage.

Figure 2 Unadjusted median survival stratified by BCLC stage. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of 5-year overall survival shown. Gastroenterology 2017 152, 1954-1964DOI: (10.1053/j.gastro.2017.02.040) Copyright © 2017 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions
Figure 3 Correlation between receipt of active HCC therapy and overall survival at the regional level. Spearman correlation of the proportion of patients receiving active HCC therapy (defined as resection, transplantation, ablation, trans-arterial therapy, or sorafenib) (“Proportion treated”) and median overall survival (OS) in months grouped by Veterans Integrated Service Network region. The diameter of each circle is proportional to the number of HCC cases in each Veterans Integrated Service Network.
