摘要

This study explores new screening strategies to enhance liver cancer screening effectiveness. In a prospective study, 2605 participants underwent baseline, 6-months self-reported, and 1-year follow-up screenings using abdominal ultrasonography, AFP, AFP-L3%, and DCP. The results demonstrated the GALADUS protocol exhibited superior performance with higher AUC (0.935 vs. 0.836; DeLong P < 0.001), sensitivity (91.0% vs. 70.8%; P < 0.001), detection (3.1% vs. 2.4%; P < 0.001), and early diagnosis rates (64.2% vs. 58.7%) compared to the AFP/US protocol. Notably, among individuals with an aMAP score ≥ 60, GALADUS had significantly outperformed AFP/US in AUC (0.923 vs. 0.826; DeLong P < 0.001), sensitivity (94.2% vs. 69.6%; P < 0.001), detection (9.7% vs. 7.2%; P < 0.001), and early diagnosis rates (63.1% vs. 54.2%). However, for those with an aMAP score < 60, GALADUS offered no significant advantages. Introducing the “aMAP triage” protocol, combining GALADUS for aMAP ≥ 60 and AFP/US for aMAP < 60, further enhanced AUC to 0.925 (DeLong P < 0.001), improved sensitivity by 19.1% (89.9% vs. 70.8%; P < 0.001), and increased detection (3.1% vs. 2.4%; P < 0.001) and early diagnosis rates (65.0% vs. 58.7%), being cost-effective compared to GALADUS. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of a stratified precision screening strategy in identifying high-risk individuals, applying tailored early detection protocols to improve liver cancer screening efficacy.
