Core Tip	This study evaluated the uptake of liver cancer screening in a cohort of high-risk Australians, and found that on average, patients were up-to-date with their surveillance for 84.2% of the study time period. Certain factors, such as absence of cirrhosis, younger age, African ethnicity and a non-English speaking background were associated to varying degrees with lower time up-to-date with hepatocellular carcinoma screening.
