| Core Tip |
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mortality could be reduced by early detection. Previous studies have investigated the cost-effectiveness of different surveillance intervals and screening modalities but were restricted to high risk populations. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis of mass screening for HCC with abdominal ultrasonography for the general population and compared it to the existing two-stage biomarker-ultrasound screening in an area with high HCC incidence. The findings suggest early detection of HCC with abdominal ultrasonography may be useful for the general population in an area with high HCC incidence not covered by hepatitis B vaccination.
