The Oncoguard® Liver test is a simple, yet sophisticated blood test offering a streamlined approach to HCC testing that can be integrated into your clinical workflow where it fits best for you. It delivers easy-to-interpret, actionable information in a single assessment.
A simplified testing pathway for most patients
The Oncoguard® Liver test is designed to be used in the clinical care pathway for at-risk patients.

Genetic hemochromatosis
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Stage 4 primary biliary cholangitis
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency
Other causes of cirrhosis

HCC testing
Adapted from AASLD guideline1
Please note that the Oncoguard® Liver test is not currently recommended as part of the AASLD guideline.
The Oncoguard® Liver test is intended for the qualitative detection of biomarkers associated with HCC and is indicated as an aid in the detection of HCC for adults with liver cirrhosis and/or chronic hepatitis B (HBV) who are at risk for HCC.
Applicability
The Oncoguard® Liver test was assessed in patients undergoing HCC testing with various disease etiologies. This included patients with cirrhosis due to HCV infection, HBV infection, and alcoholism, as well as non-cirrhotic HBV patients. The studies also included patients with disease etiologies that are on the rise, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The test demonstrates strong performance across all disease etiologies, giving it broad applicability in clinical practice.
Consistency
A blood-based biomarker test like the Oncoguard® Liver test introduces a level of clarity and consistency you may not see with ultrasound assessments. Ultrasound sensitivity is often variable based on operator, equipment, and the patient’s overall morphology.1,2 Blood-based assessment offers consistency without concerns about patient weight, operator or equipment variability.
Convenience
The Oncoguard® Liver test requires a simple blood collection, enabling HCC testing from a single location. The convenience of a blood-based test may minimize the logistical challenges often encountered with traditional imaging procedures, helping more patients follow through with their care.
