is a malignant tumor that arises from hepatocytes&#44; the major cell type in the liver&#46; HCC is the most common primary hepatic tumor and the fifth most common tumor worldwide&#46; It has a high incidence in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia&#46; The HCC 5-year survival rate is less than 5 per cent without treatment&#46; Any chronic inflammatory liver disease has the potential to induce HCC&#44; but the pathophysiological process found in up to 80 per cent of cases of the disease is cirrhosis&#46; Approximately 90 to 95 percent of these tumors are the biologic consequences of persistent hepatitis B virus &#40;HBV&#41; and hepatitis C virus &#40;HCV&#41; infections&#46; Certain diseases other than chronic Hepatitis B or C are associated with increased HCC incidence&#59; iron overload cirrhosis &#40;hemochromatosis&#41;&#44; long-standing alcoholic cirrhosis&#44; alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency&#44; and tyrosinemia&#46; The disease is often clinically silent until it is well advanced or tumor diameter exceeds 10 cm&#46; Given the poor prognosis and lack of effective therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma&#44; prevention programs are desperately needed&#46; Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for patients with HCC when the tumor is small and limited to one lobe of the liver&#46; In cases where the tumor is larger or involves more than one lobe of the liver such that it cannot be removed&#44; liver transplantation has also been performed&#46; In either case&#44; the cure rate averages only 20-30 per cent&#44;
