Clinical practice guidelines for hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance for people at high risk in Australia: summary of recommendations.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer, the sixth most common cause of cancer death in Australia. With shifting aetiologies and a growing at-risk population, consistent routine surveillance recommendations are key to early detection of HCC and improved survival. We developed new evidence-based HCC surveillance guidelines for people at high risk in Australia due to liver disease and/or other risk factors. These guidelines were developed by a working group of experts in liver cancer control and included evidence reviews, synthesis and adaptation of existing guidelines for the Australian context, and predictive modelling.
