Abstract

Objectives: Our study describes clinical, subclinical characteristics and the Barcelona (BCLC) staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients at Bach mai hospital from 2017 to 2019. Subjects and methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional study of 172 patients diagnosed with HCC at Bach Mai Hospital from May 2017 to May 2019. Results: the mean age of the study group was 59.9 ± 11.4 years old (from 18-86 years old) and the male/female ratio was 4.1/1. The most common symptom is abdominal pain (24.4%). The rate of hepatitis B infection in the study group was 79.7% and of hepatitis C infection was 4.1%. In our study, BCLC stage 0 accounted for 7.5%, stage A: 39.5%; B: 45.3%; C: 7.6%. The mean PIVKA-II concentration was 109.5 mAU/mL. Conclusion: It is necessary to strengthen screening for liver cancer in subjects infected with hepatitis B virus. Early screening and detection programs can also contribute to the management of HCC.
