- Novel machine-learning models generate accurate risk scores for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic viral hepatitis.
- HCC ridge score is consistently more accurate than existing HCC risk scores.
- These machine-learning models may be incorporated into electronic health systems to guide cancer surveillance strategies and reduce cancer death.
