Abstract
Liver tumors account for a considerable number of deaths every year (World Health Organization, 2004). One of type of primary liver tumors is hepatocellular carcinoma, which arises frequently as a complication of liver cirrhosis. Additionally, almost any tumor can seed metastasis within the liver, colorectal cancer being at the top of the list.
