| Core Tip |
Global reviews of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that exclude Australasian data risk overlooking important epidemiological patterns. In Australia and New Zealand, non-cirrhotic HCC accounts for a substantial proportion of cases, driven predominantly by chronic hepatitis B and an increasing burden of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, particularly among Indigenous and migrant populations. Inclusion of Australasian data is essential for a truly comprehensive understanding of non-cirrhotic HCC risk and surveillance worldwide. |
