from Jules: look at predictor Table below - you will see Hazaed Ratio of 4.45 for cirrhosis as a cause of HCC, reminding us very strongly that delaying treatment can be very costly for the patients health & life, as well as increasing medical costs to include more doctor followup visits & MRIs forever, and increase the risk for HCC if the patient has cirrhosis.
