NCT00190385

Brief Summary

Liver carcinoma is becoming the main complication of cirrhosis. Treatment of symptomatic or large tumors is disappointing. Regular ultrasonographic screening of small (curable) tumors is currently recommended, but the best periodicity is unknown.This randomized trial is aimed to compare 6-month (current recommendation) and 3-month ultrasonographic screenings.
