Opis

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 5th most common cancer worldwide, and its incidence is currently rising. HCC is a real public health problem in Tunisia, given the growing incidence of chronic carriage of hepatitis B and C viruses. In 90% of cases, HCC occurs in patients with chronic liver disease, usually at the cirrhosis stage. To improve the overall prognosis of HCC in Tunisia, we need to improve treatment methods, in particular interventional radiology, and above all promote and organize screening.
