Abstract

It is the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults and Is currently the most
common cause of death in people with cirrhosis.[1] HCC Is the third leading cause of
cancer-related deaths worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health
problem worldwide, due to its high incidence (approximately 600000 new cases in 2000),
and high rates of mortality [1]. The identification that chronic liver disease is the process
relevant risk factor for this tumour, has made surveillance campaigns aimed at early
detection of HCC possible and surveillance is now universally recognised to be the
practical approach for improving treatment of HCCpatients . The few cases (less than 5%)
of HCC that do not develop on the background of chronic liver disease present late and
usually have poor chances of cure.
