Clinical practice guidelines for hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance for people at high risk in Australia: summary of recommendations
The updated guidelines formalise recommendations for people with cirrhosis, identify other patient groups who are recommended for surveillance, and highlight gaps in evidence where the benefit of surveillance is unclear. These guidelines were accompanied by the Roadmap to liver cancer control, a coordinated ten-year plan for advancing liver cancer prevention and early detection in Australia. The full guidelines can be accessed at https://cancer.org.au/clinical-guidelines/liver-cancer/hepatocellular-carcinoma.
