HCC is the most common primary liver cancer, requiring significant financial expenditures for diagnosis and treatment. The increasing incidence of HCC leads to an increased need for diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study is to characterize the economic aspects of HCC diagnosis and treatment in Russia and abroad. To achieve this goal, scientific publications on the economic aspects of HCC diagnosis and treatment indexed in the eLibrary, Cyberleninka, PubMed, and Google Scholar electronic libraries, as well as clinical guidelines from the Russian Ministry of Health and the European Association for the Study of the Liver were reviewed. This article examines the economic aspects of various methods for diagnosing and treating HCC in Russia and abroad, including the cost of procedures, the availability of surgical and medical treatment, and the burden on the healthcare system. Particular attention is paid to the cost-effectiveness of preventive measures, such as hepatitis B vaccination and hepatitis C screening. A detailed analysis of the potential economic impact of the disease, the specifics of healthcare financing, and factors influencing the choice of diagnostic and therapeutic measures is provided. As the burden of HCC increases worldwide, concerted efforts to understand the comparative effectiveness of surveillance and treatment strategies are needed, and more comparative studies among patients with cirrhosis and all stages of HCC are required. Although survival remains the most important outcome, quality of life, costs, and ultimately value must be assessed in parallel when considering the clinical utility of interventions. Further research to identify ways to reduce this disparity is needed.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Работа посвящена изучению экономических аспектов диагностики и лечения гепатоцеллюлярной карциномы (ГЦК) в России и зарубежных странах. ГЦК представляет собой наиболее распространённый первичный рак печени, требующий значительных финансовых затрат на диагностику и лечение. Рост заболеваемости ГЦК приводит к увеличению потребности в диагностике и лечении пациентов. Цель работы – охарактеризовать экономические аспекты диагностики и лечения ГЦК в России и за рубежом. Для достижения поставленной цели были изучены научные публикации, посвящённые экономическим аспектам диагностики и лечения ГЦК, индексированные в электронных библиотеках eLibrary, Cyberleninka, PubMed и Google Scholar, а также клинические рекомендации Министерства здравоохранения Российской Федерации и Европейской Ассоциации по исследованию печени. В статье рассмотрены экономические аспекты различных методов диагностики и лечения ГЦК в России за рубежом, включая стоимость процедур, доступность хирургического и медикаментозного лечения, а также нагрузку на систему здравоохранения. Отдельное внимание уделено экономической эффективности профилактических мероприятий, таких как вакцинация против вирусного гепатита B и скрининг на инфицирование вирусом гепатита C. проведён детальный анализ потенциального экономического воздействия заболевания, особенностей финансирования медицинских услуг и факторов, влияющих на выбор диагностических и терапевтических мероприятий. По мере увеличения бремени ГЦК во всем мире необходимо предпринимать согласованные усилия для понимания сравнительной эффективности стратегий наблюдения и терапии, при этом необходимо проводить больше сравнительных исследований среди пациентов с циррозом печени и всеми стадиями ГЦК. Хотя выживаемость остаётся наиболее важным результатом, качество жизни, затраты и в конечном счёте стоимость должны оцениваться параллельно при рассмотрении клинической полезности вмешательств. Необходимо провести дальнейшие исследования, чтобы определить пути уменьшения этого неравенства.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cost-benefit analysis</kwd><kwd>hepatitis B</kwd><kwd>hepatitis C</kwd><kwd>hepatocellular carcinoma</kwd><kwd>quality of life</kwd><kwd>liver neoplasms</kwd><kwd>liver cirrhosis</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>анализ затрат и выгод</kwd><kwd>гепатит В</kwd><kwd>гепатит С</kwd><kwd>гепатоцеллюлярная карцинома</kwd><kwd>качество жизни</kwd><kwd>новообразования печени</kwd><kwd>цирроз печени</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bray F., Ferlay J., Soerjomataram I., et al.
