摘要: Abstract: There is no available data on prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal thrombosis (PT) in Chilean cirrhotic patients. Objectives: To evaluate the development these entities role ultra-sound (US) may play as imaging method choice their diagnostic approach.

Results: Two hundred eleven (211) an average age 62.6 years were included. was diagnosed 10.4% cases, whilst observed 4.3% 33% occurred association exhibited worse survival rates. Ultrasonographic studies yielded suspicious results significant percentage thus performed to confirm diagnosis.
