In this online, self-learning activity:
Cancer of the liver is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths and one of the more common types of cancer worldwide, with an incidence of over 41,000 in the U.S. and an annual mortality rate of over 29,000 new cases each year. Of all the primary liver cancers, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form, representing 80%, and its incidence has risen threefold in the U.S. over the past 40 years. HCC is most often diagnosed in late stages of disease and carries a grave prognosis with a five-year survival rate of three percent in patients with metastases, suggesting opportunity for improvement and potential gaps in care.
