Centrum for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, liver cancer) is the sixth most common tumor disease in the world. It generally develops on the basis of a previously damaged liver – a liver cirrhosis is already present in over 80% of cases. The cirrhosis is often caused by a chronic hepatitis B or C viral infection or longstanding alcoholism. In recent years, an increasing amount of HCCs based on fatty liver disease (so-called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH) have been detected. Patients with liver cirrhosis have a significantly increased risk of HCC, and it is thus recommended for these patients to receive an examination including an ultrasound every six months.
