Abstract
Liver cancer is the fifth most prevalent cancer in the world and the
third lethal cancer overall. It was responsible for 7.69% of the universal
cancer-linked deaths in 2020. In Egypt, liver cancer is the fourth most
prevalent cancer; it is the second among males and sixth among females.
In 2020, estimated cancer-linked deaths in Egypt were around 66% of the
entire cancer-infected Egyptians. HCC develops from hepatocytes
(primary liver parenchymal cells). More than 90% of primary liver cancer
cases worldwide are of HCC type. HCC risk markedly increases with
hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Cases of HCV or/and Hepatitis B virus
(HBV) can progress to HCC.
