Abstract
= 0.008) and ALBI evolution during the first month of treatment was associated with overall survival. Additionally, ALBI score was able to define distinct prognostic subgroups within CP-A patients. In conclusion, liver function scores, such as ALBI and CP, have a clinically relevant prognostic role in patients with advanced HCC under systemic treatment. ALBI score is a more granular scoring scale than CP, and enables a more precise evaluation of patients with CP-A.
