Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prominent kind of liver cancer, accounting for 85% of primary liver malignancies. It is a very aggressive tumor, having a terrible prognosis and poor survival rate HCC is ranked as the sixth most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related mortalities world wide.
HCC incidences arise in complications associated with chronic liver disease like cirrhosis, endemic hepatitis B virus (HBV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and alcohol-related liver disease (Torre, 2015).

Inclusion Criteria:
Group I:
The study group will include 45 patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis with absence of hepatic focal lesion as control group. Cirrhosis will be determined according to clinical , sereological ,radiological findings.
Group II:
The study group will include 45 patient with HCC on top of liver cirrhosis .All causes of liver cirrhosis will be accepted .HCC will be assessed by triphasic CT or MRI or histological validation .In these group we will take patients with liver cirrhosis with early hepatocellular carcinoma that defined as tumors smaller than 3cm and three or fewer in number at stage A according to BCLC staging also sometimes it includes solitary tumors up to 5 cm in size as defined in the Milan criteria. Both very early and early stage tumors are relatively small but both are hyper vascular in arterial phase.
