Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide, primarily because of endemic hepatitis B in Africa and Asia. It is also the most rapidly increasing cause of cancer death in the United States owing to increased numbers of patients with chronic hepatitis C, and migration from endemic areas.1
