    Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the commonest among primary malignancies of the liver and in the majority of cases arises in cirrhotic or posthepatitic liver. The incidence of HCC in the world ... varies among regions and follows the pattern of distribution of chronic viral hepatitis, peaking in Asia and Subsahar Africa. In diagnosing HCC we may choose between many diagnostic procedures, amongst which the leading one is ultrasound combined with serologic inqueries and histologic methods. The only efficient therapeutical measure with HCC is resection of the tumor or liver transplantation. In the advancedstage `lisease we can only offer paliative chemotherapy or embolisation of the tumor. Early diagnosis promises to increase the relative number of patients with resectable disease, but screening has not yet led to the expected success. The most useful screening method is abdominal ultrasound, the role of alphafetoprotein as a diagnostic screening marker has been shown to be dismal.
