Abstract

Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the third most common cause of cancer mortality, with more than 500,000 deaths annually [1, 2]. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which comprises most primary liver cancer cases, is rarely detected early and is usually fatal within a few months of diagnosis [3]. A recently published study indicated that the incidence rates of HCC tripled in the United States from 1975 through 2005 [4].
