Características clínicas del carcinoma hepatocelular en España. Comparación con el período 2008-2009 y análisis de las causas del diagnóstico fuera de cribado. Estudio de 686 casos en 73 centros

Detecting a liver disease in asymptomatic populations and improving adherence to screening programs are the main areas that must be subject to improvement in order to improve the early detection of HCC.
