Recognize the value of surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with persistent hepatitis B viral infection.

Explanation:

We are all aware of Chronic hepatitis B being a strong risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma but what is not well known is that these patients should undergo surveillance for it by ultrasound / doppler and Alfa fetoprotein check every 6 months.

This practice detects tumors early and allows for treatment but has not yet shown to improve survival.
