Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a widespread disease all over the world, its annual incidence being estimated between 0.25 and 1 million new cases per year [ 11. HCC is a sex-linked disease, with a significantly higher frequency in males [2]. The figure observed in each geographical region is different, and depends mainly on the basis of collection of the data (hospital, population, autopsy register, etc.). However, when dealing with large numbers and/or with a rather frequent disease, such as liver carcinoma, the bias related to the above-mentioned factors may be minimized.File in questo prodotto:
