Results
Our study included 54 patients with a mean age of 57.17 years, and male:
female ratio of 5:1. Of them, 68.52% consumed alcohol and 74.07%
smoked cigarettes. At the time of diagnosis, 88.89% of them were
symptomatic, weight loss (64.81%) being the most common symptom. The
majority of the participants belonged to Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer
(BCLC) terminal stage (38.89%) and had more than three liver lesions
(35.19%) involving the right lobe (55.56%). Only four patients
underwent curative surgical resection. As most were in the terminal
stage (BCLC D), supportive care was provided.
