HCC Surveillance: Chronic HBV
Bruix J, AASLD Practice Guidelines, 2011.
Surveillance recommended HBV Population Group Cirrhosis Family h/o HCC Asian male >40 years Asian female >50 years African/North American Blacks Benefit uncertain Males <40, Females <50
- 1. How should we approach HCC screening in patients
with HIV/HBV?
What about Caucasian pts?

- 1. How should we approach HCC screening in patients
with HIV/HBV?
What about Caucasian pts?
─ If no cirrhosis and chronic inactive HBV (long-term normal ALT, low HBV DNA) “the incidence of HCC is probably too low to make surveillance worthwhile” ─ However… “additional risk factors have to be taken into account including older age, persistence of viral replication, co- infection with HCV or HIV, or presence
─ …“Caucasian pts with active HBV are likely at risk for HCC and should be screened”

HCC Surveillance: Chronic HBV
- 2. How should we approach HCC screening in non-
cirrhotic pts with isolated HBcAb+:
- Isolated HBcAb+:
- Isolated HBcAb+ associated with increased HCC risk in Japanese
pts with non-HBV, non-HCV cirrhosis1
- High prevalence of HBcAb+ in Korean pts with non-HBV, non-
HCV HCC2
- HBcAb+ not associated with HCC in U.S. HCV cohort3
- Systematic review suggested increased risk of HCC4
─ Mostly case/control, few adjustments for confounders, only 1 in US
- Insufficient evidence to support surveillance in this group
