CONCLUSION
In summary, our study depicted that, older age, male gender, excess alcohol intake, viral hepatitis, and liver cirrhosis were the common risk factors for liver cancer in Nepal. Since most of the patients are asymptomatic in the initial stage of cancer, it is already late when they become symptomatic and present to us when curative treatment is no longer possible. Being a single-center study, the findings are not generalizable to all the Nepalese population. Therefore, we suggest a multicenter study to draw a clearer picture of the prevalence, risk factors, clinical presentation, and treatment modalities of HCC in Nepal.
