Development of evidence‐based clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in Japan
Abstract
The Clinical Practice Guidelines for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), the first evidence‐based guidelines for the treatment of HCC in Japan, were compiled by an expert panel supported by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare. This set of guidelines covers six research fields: prevention, diagnosis and surveillance, surgery, chemotherapy, transarterial chemoembolization, and percutaneous local ablation therapy. A systematic review of the English medical literature on HCC was performed, and a total of 7192 publications were extracted, mainly from MEDLINE (1966–2002). After the second selection, 334 articles were adopted for the guidelines to form 58 pairs of research questions and recommendations. For the users' convenience, practical algorithms for the surveillance and treatment of HCC were also created, which were based on evidence from the selected articles forthe guidelines and modified according to the current status of medical practice in Japan, where liver resection for HCC is regarded as safe with less than 1% mortality and cadaveric donors for liver transplantation are extremely difficult to obtain. The formation of the guidelines and the outline of their contents are described. The Japanese HCC guidelines may be useful in decision making at every clinical step, both for patients and physicians. Although the main users of these guidelines are assumed to be Japanese physicians, the accumulated evidence and interpretation in the guidelines may attract universal attention.

“Considering, though, that inter-patient variability is so huge, a shorter 3month interval has been proposed by Japanese guidelines [90,95].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
