Background: In order to elucidate potential differences in the natural history, clinical presentation and prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from two different continents, we studied demographics, management and outcome data of two groups of patients from Egypt and Greece. To our knowledge this is the first study to do so.

Patients and Methods: Record-based data from one hundred and five Egyptian and seventy eight Greek patients with HCC, were retrieved and analyzed for demographic, tumor and disease characteristics as well as for treatment and prognostic features.
