Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival, defined as the time from start of treatment to death

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. HCC-specific survival from start of treatment
  2. Time to response from start of treatment (complete or partial response)
  3. Proportion of patients who achieve partial/complete response
  4. Time to progression measured from start of treatment
  5. Duration of complete response in patients showing a complete response, measured from the first date when absence of disease was recorded until the first date of disease progression was recorded
  6. Duration of partial response in patients showing partial response, measured from first date when partial response was recorded until the first date at which disease progression was observed
  7. Duration of stable disease measured from start of treatment until the first date where either progression or partial/complete response was observed
  8. Change(s) in tumour size
  9. Change in tumour marker
  10. Number of days of hospitalisation (in-patient care)
  11. Quality of life
  12. Adverse events
