Hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most frequently encountered type of liver cancer.^[1] It is more common in those with cirrhosis of the liver. If localized to the liver and small at the time of diagnosis, it can be surgically treated.^[1] If metastatic, it may be treated with Nexavar, an oral medication approved in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.^[2] Liver transplantation may be used in some cases.^[1]
