ثبت نشده
چکیده
Background: Hepato cellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a challenging malignancy of worldwide importance; it is the sixth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related death globally. Alcohol, tobacco, obesity, diabetes and viral etiology interact to increase the risk of HCC in patients with chronic liver diseases. Smoking is a well documented risk factor for many cancers and can play role in cancer development in patients with liver diseases. Egypt has a significant prevalence of HBV, HCV, bilharzial infections and smoking which may allow us to identify a high-risk group for HCC among patients with chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis.
