Secondary prevention, outlining risk-based surveillance strategies for patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis due to hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. 3. Operational standards for surveillance, emphasizing ultrasound as the cornerstone of monitoring, the importance of structured reporting, management of small nodules, and the selective use of cross-sectional imaging.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These multidisciplinary recommendations provide practical, adaptable guidance for the prevention, surveillance, and early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.
