Zusammenfassung

Das hepatozelluläre Karzinom ist der weltweit vierthäufigste maligne Tumor mit einer Inzidenz von 20–150/100.000 Einwohner/Jahr in manchen Teilen von Asien und Afrika (Chen et al.1997). Es tritt wesentlich seltener in Westeuropa und in den Vereinigten Staaten (1–5/100.000 Einwohner/Jahr) auf, die niedrigste Inzidenz findet sich in Irland (0,1/100.000 Einwohner/Jahr). Es betrifft Männer im Schnitt 2- bis 4-mal häufiger als Frauen, wobei das Verhältnis ebenfalls geographischen Variationen unterliegt (Chen et al.1997).
