DECLINING INCIDENCE OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA IN
THE UNITED STATES
Meredith Shiels and Thomas R. O’Brien, Division of Cancer
Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute
Background: In the United States, hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC) rates had been increasing for decades, until recent
years when rates flattened and then potentially declined.
Previously, we reported that HCC rates in 2016 were 4% lower
than 2015, with the largest decline (7%) observed among
50-64-year-olds (Shiels and O’Brien, Gastroenterology,
2020) Though the decline in 2016 was pronounced, it was
unclear whether it was the beginning of a downward trend
Here, we examined whether the decline in HCC rates
continued through 2017 Methods: Data on HCC rates were
obtained from the 20 cancer registries in the Surveillance,
Epidemiology and End Results Program Incidence rates for
2000-2017 were age-standardized to the 2000 US population
in 5-year age categories We used Joinpoint regression to
identify statistically significant changes in rate trajectories and
to estimate annual percent changes (APCs) in rates Results:
During 2000-2017, 128,854 HCC cases occurred during
2 02 billion person-years of follow-up (rate=5 9 per 100,000
person-years) After increasing from 3 9 per 100,000 in 2000
to 6 8 per 100,000 in 2014, HCC rates fell to 6 3 in 2017
(Figure 1), a decline of 2 8% per year (95% CI: -4 7, -0 9;
p=0 01) during 2014-2017 Temporal trends varied notably
by age group HCC rates were low (0 3 per 100,000) and
stable among 20-34-year-olds (APC=-0 3; 95% CI: -1 6, 1 0)
Among 35-49-year-olds, rates were stable during 2000-2006
(APC=0.8; 95% CI: -1.5, 3.2) and then declined significantly
4 9% per year (95% CI: -5 9, -3 8) during 2006-2017 Among
50-64-year-olds HCC rates increased 9 4% per year (95% CI:
8 3, 10 6) during 2000-2007 and 4 3% per year (95% CI: 2 4,
6 2) during 2007-2012 before plateauing during 2012-2015
(APC=-1 3; 95% CI: -6 3, 4 0) and declining 9 5% per year
(95% CI: -14 4, -4 3) during 2015-2017 We observed the
highest HCC rates among those aged ≥65 years (23.3 per
100,000) In this age group, rates increased 3 6% per year
(95% CI: 3 3, 3 9) during 2000-2015 before plateauing during
2015-2017 (APC=0 1; 95% CI -4 9, 5 3) By race/ethnicity,
HCC rates have decreased recently among Hispanics (2014-
2017, APC=-4.2; 95% CI -7.7, -0.6), Asian/Pacific Islanders
(2007-2015, APC=-2 2; 95% CI -3 3, -1 0; 2015-2017, APC=-
7 5; 95% CI -15 1, 0 7) and non-Hispanic Whites (2014-2017,
APC -2 6; 95% CI -5 5, 0 4) These rates have plateaued
among non-Hispanic Blacks (2009-2017, APC 0 1; 95% CI
-1 0, 1 2), but continued to increase among American Indians
and Alaska Natives (2000-2017, APC 4 9; 95% CI 3 3, 6 4)
Conclusion: The overall incidence of HCC continued to fall
in the United States through 2017 The most rapid declines
in recent years were observed among 35-64-year-olds,
Hispanics and Asian/Pacific Islanders. |
