AB  - Hepatocellular  carcinoma  (HCC)  is  the  sixth  most  common  cancer  for  both  sexes  or  the  fifth  most  common  cancer  for  men  worldwide  with  749,000  new  cases  diagnosed  in  2008  (5.9%  of  all  cancers).1  Furthermore,  it  is  the  third  leading  cause  of  cancer  death,  responsible  for  695,000  deaths  in  2008.1  Although  HCC  is  still  relatively  uncommon  in  the  United  States,  the  incidence  of  HCC  is  projected  to  increase,  given  increasing  rates  of  chronic  hepatitis  C  virus  (HCV)  infection.2  Despite  the  rising  incidence  of  primary  liver  cancer,  the  vast  majority  of  liver  cancers  are  metastases  (1.8  million  cases/year)  with  colorectal  cancer  being  the  most  common.3,4
