Hepatocellular carcinoma (an alternative name may be hepatoma), is a primary cancer of the liver. Most cases are secondary to either hepatitis infection (hepatitis B or C usually) or cirrhosis (alcoholism being the most common cause of hepatic cirrhosis).

Treatment options and prognosis are dependent on many factors but especially on tumor size and staging.
