Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults and is currently the most common cause of death in people with cirrhosis. HCC develops in the setting of chronic liver disease. Small hepatocellular carcinoma: relationship of signal intensity to histopathologic findings and metal content of the tumor and surrounding hepatic parenchyma. As a result, the content and structure of radiology repor … To retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of chemoembolization for inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumors larger than 5 cm in diameter. Bone metastases with HCC, in particular, have an extremely poor prognosis. The incidence of HCC is expected to increase by 122% in the United States due to the increase in obesity and diabetes between 2016 and 2030.
