Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with radiologically or histopathologically confirmed HCC diagnosed between 2015-01-01 and 2023-12-31, with at least 6 months of follow-up and available medical records.

Probably not a fit

Findings may not directly alter individual treatment decisions for every patient.

What this trial studies

This study is an observational registry that gathers existing medical records of adults diagnosed with HCC from multiple sites. It includes patients diagnosed between 2015 and 2023 and follows them for at least six months after diagnosis to capture treatment and outcomes data. The aim is to describe disease characteristics, causes, and survival patterns in diverse populations, with a focus on regional differences in risk factors like HBV, HCV, cirrhosis, and steatotic liver disease. Interventions are not part of the study; data come from routine clinical care and record review. Participation is limited to sites in Egypt (Al Mansurah, Dakahlia, Damietta) under a sponsor-led observational framework.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could improve understanding of real-world HCC patterns and inform regional guidelines and patient care.

How similar studies have gone: Observational registries in HCC have provided valuable real-world insights, supporting the value of this approach in diverse populations.
