Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Staging and Clinical Management
摘要
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and is the fifth most common cancer in men and the seventh most common cancer in women worldwide [1]. Men are more commonly affected than women. The male-to-female ratio has been reported to vary regionally from 2:1 to 4:1 [2], with an overall male-to-female ratio of 2.4:1. In the United States, the incidence rates of liver cancer per 100,000 person-years are 2.0 for women and 3.7 for men, with a male-to-female ratio of 2.83:1.
