Core Tip	In this study, we validate the modified version of the albumin-bilirubin-TNM grade (mALBI-T) in a retrospective Egyptian cohort. In addition, this study offers a comparative analysis of 8 different established and novel scoring systems. We concluded that the modified ALBI-T score is superior to the other scoring systems and offers a better prognostic tool.
