Core Tip	Why should hepatocellular carcinoma be an exception in the long list of other cancers where the feasibility and the efficacy of screening were investigated by randomized trials?

Screening is not just performing a test, but is a public health issue: a national program is needed to ensure minimal participation, quality controls and evaluation of the results to improve the process.
