This cohort study of 1185 participants with HCC found that HCC surveillance was associated with improved survival. This survival benefit was more prominent for people with HBV-associated and HCV-associated HCC. The survival benefit of surveillance was less consistent for people with MASLD-associated or alcohol-associated HCC, which may have been related to the relatively modest sample size in the nonviral groups.
