Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has an increasing incidence worldwide, It is the second most common cancer in men and the 6th most common cancers in women. In Egypt the incidence of HCC in the past 10 years has been doubled.
Aim of the work:
we aimed in this work to Identify presentations of patients with hepatocelluler carcinoma at time of discovery in Egyptian Patients with Liver Cirrhosis secondary To chronic Hepatitis C in Fayoum ,Beni-suef.
Patients and methods:
We studied 100 patients with hepatocelluler carcinoma on top of chronic HCV infection and liver cirrhosis.They were clinically assessed and investigated by laboratory tests (including CBC ,Liver biochemical profile,viral load ,AFPlevel),imaging (abdominal ultrasound, triphasic computed tomography scanning (CT)).
Results:
48 patients (48%) were child A ,36 patients (36%) were child B ,16 patients(16%) were child C.
Conclusion:
Patients who develop HCC usually have no symptoms other than those related to their chronic liver disease.HCC meets the criteria for the development of a surveillance program given that patients with cirrhosis are a high-risk group and they can be identified for early diagnosis of HCC.
