TL;DR
The study proved that screening the high-risk population for PLC with a serum AFP test and real-time ultrasound examination can detect patients in the early stages, increase the resection rate and prolong the survival time.
Abstract
The study proved that screening the high-risk population for PLC with a serum AFP test and real-time ultrasound examination can detect patients in the early stages, increase the resection rate and prolong the survival time. It is therefore recommended that screening for PLC be advocated in any high-risk area.

A mathematical model was used to calculate the efficacy of screening to detect hepatocellular carcinoma at a resectable stage in hepatitis B virus carriers, and the results would be significantly altered if tumour growth times were markedly different from those reported in the literature.

Most hepatocellular carcinomas in Japan are found in chronic liver diseases with persistent infection of hepatitis B or C virus and most small HCC are detected by a regular follow-up of every three months using ultrasonography (US) in patients with liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis over 40 years of age.
