The degree of liver fibrosis is the strongest indicator of risk for hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ) development . Recently developed transient elastoraphy ( Fibroscan , Echosens , France ) noninvasively measures liver stiffness , and the correlation between the stiffness and liver fibrosis stage has been validated . In this cross - sectional study , we aimed to investigate the relationship between liver stiffness and HCC presence
