Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. Consequently, the epidemiology of this fatal disease is well considered and studied. Although hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are amongst the most prominent risk factors for this cancer, there are some other factors participating in the high incidence of HCC such as cirrhosis, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, obesity and metabolic disorders.
