Core Tip Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance in people with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) aims to detect cancer early, however there is a risk of over- or under-surveillance. In this Australian cohort, the validated HCC risk scores Risk Estimation for HCC in CHB, modified Risk Estimation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Chronic Hepatitis B, and Platelet Age Gender-Hepatitis B identified substantially fewer patients for surveillance compared with the current Gastroenterological Society of Australia guidelines. Importantly, these risk scores failed to identify all patients who developed HCC, highlighting the limitations of applying population-specific tools to Australia’s heterogeneous CHB population.
