GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Greek term or phrase:ΗΚΚ
English translation:HCC （hepatocellular carcinoma）

Medical - Medical (general) / Liver disease
Greek term or phrase: HKK
As usual, when I encounter an unfamiliar abbreviation my brain just grinds to a halt.

The context is patients with non-compensated hepatitis C viral cirrhosis.

3 ασθενείς απεβίωσαν στους πρώτους 5 μήνες λόγω ηπατικής ανεπάρκειας. 3 ασθενείς ανέπτυξαν **ΗΚΚ** μετά από >4 έτη

The H could be ηπατικός/ή，but I'm not even certain whether this is Greek or English. There are other English abbreviations scattered through the Greek text.

Can anybody help?
