Popis: Hepatocellular carcinoma is primary neoplasm of the liver, which usually accompanies cirrhosis of this organ. This malignancy neoplasms commonly occurs all around the world. The frequency of morbidity on this disease is correlated with frequency of HBV and HCV infections in the population. That is caused due to the pathogenic effects of these viruses, among others on liver cells, affecting carcinogenesis. Appropriate and early treatment of infection reduces the chance of developing cancer.
