Brief Title: Prospective Surveillance for Very Early Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Official Title: Prospective Surveillance for Very Early Hepatocellular Carcinoma (PRECAR): an Observational Cohort Trial
Study ID: NCT03588442
Brief Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is one the leading cause of increasing cancer-specific mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma provides opportunity for curative therapeutic approaches and relatively favorable prognosis. Herein, we intended to establish a biosignature for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma and stratification of risk population for intensive follow-up by implementing biannual follow-up investigation and collecting peripheral blood samples for screening.
Detailed Description: Patients will be recruited for 1 year and be follow-up for 3 years. Patients will make active hospital visit for collection of blood samples, which will be analyzed to develop a biosignature at the end of the study to detect very early hepatocellular carcinoma and stratify risk population for intensive follow-up.
