Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with hepatocellular carcinoma who are Child-Pugh A, ECOG 0-1, and BCLC stage C or B with diffuse/infiltrative/extensive bilobar disease (or progression after TACE), eligible for systemic therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with Child-Pugh B/C, early-stage disease, or contraindications to systemic therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at the Tropical Medicine Department of Mansoura University Hospitals. It will include adults with advanced HCC who receive systemic therapy between June 2022 and November 2024 and meet liver function and performance status criteria (Child-Pugh A, ECOG 0-1). Data will be collected from medical records, imaging, and lab tests, with follow-up every three months to monitor disease progression and treatment outcomes. Analysis will summarize baseline characteristics and outcomes using SPSS software. The study aims to describe real-world treatment patterns and associated outcomes in this specific patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could help clinicians understand real-world effectiveness and safety of systemic therapies for advanced HCC to inform treatment decisions.
How similar studies have gone: Other real-world analyses have shown varying outcomes with systemic therapies in HCC, providing context but this single-center study adds location-specific insight.
