We read with interest the article by Chen et al. reporting proportion of time covered by imaging modality was associated with increased early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ¹ However, in this study, alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) was not assessed as a surveillance tool because of low rate of AFP measurements. In the era of direct‐acting antivirals (DAA) almost all patients could achieve sustained viral response (SVR).

根除丙型肝炎病毒后肝细胞癌中甲胎蛋白水平的时间变化。

我们感兴趣地阅读了Chen等的文章。报告的影像学形式所涵盖的时间比例与肝细胞癌（HCC）的早期发现增加有关。¹然而，在这项研究中，由于甲胎蛋白的测量率低，因此未将甲胎蛋白（AFP）评估为监测工具。在直接作用抗病毒药物（DAA）时代，几乎所有患者都可以实现持续病毒应答（SVR）。
