Overview
According to the the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF), there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for benign liver mass. However, routine screening is recommended for individuals with chronic hepatitis B virus infection or cirrhosis from any cause who are at risk for development of HCC by ultrasound every 6 months.
