title: Screening of hepatocellular cancer: Japanese strategy.
abstract: In Japan, hepatocellular carcinoma ranks as the fourth most common cancer and is responsible for about 40,000 deaths annually. Accordingly, the development of a screening system for its early detection will be linked to early treatment with a view to increasing survival. Algorithms for surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma established in Japan will be useful for its early detection.
