During a 4-year period from January 1995 to December 1998, blood samples and questionnaire data were obtained from 333 incident cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as from 360 controls who were hospitalized for eye, ear, nose, throat or orthopedic conditions in Athens, Greece.

β¦ Synopsis
The authors investigated the possibility that dietary fat, meat, beef, and pork consumption might be factors that would, in addition to alcohol, correlate with mortality from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in different countries. The authors also relate the consumption of different alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, spirits) to HCC mortality. The significant relationships were between HCC mortality and alcohol consumption (r = 0.40, P less than 0.05), wine consumption (r = 0.46, P less than 0.05), and pork consumption (r = 0.40, P less than 0.05). The intake of alcohol, wine, and pork was also significantly higher in the countries with HCC mortality of greater than 3/100,000, compared with countries with HCC mortality of less than 3/100,000.

The prognosis of patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma depends mainly on the anatomical extent of the tumour and on the general condition of the patient. Given the growing evidence that proliferation indices may be of prognostic significance in hepatocellular carcinomas and that paramete
