The most frequent primary liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is also the main cause of cancer-related death globally. HCC is the ninth most common cancer-related cause of death in the US. Incidence and death are still increasing despite improvements in screening methods, prevention strategies, and new technologies for both diagnosis and treatment. Regardless of the etiology, cirrhosis continues to be the predominant risk factor for the development of HCC. Hepatitis B and C are separate risk factors for cirrhosis development. Given that alcohol misuse is five times more prevalent than hepatitis C in the United States, alcohol intake continues to be a significant extra risk factor. Without pathologic confirmation, the diagnosis is established. The term "screening" refers to the use of both serological indicators such as -fetoprotein and radiologic tests such as ultrasonography, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging at intervals of six months. However, only orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) or surgical excision is curative among the many available treatment options. Patients who meet or are downstaged into the Milan or University of San Francisco criteria are eligible for OLT. Radiation therapy, systemic chemotherapy, cryoablation, percutaneous ethanol injection, transarterial chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, molecularly targeted therapies, and percutaneous ethanol injection are further treatment options.
