Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The whole genome sequence of HCC was completed by RIKEN, a Japanese research institution, and was published on November 8, 2012. The result revealed many new cancer-associated genes, a variety of genomic alterations, and the common integration sites for hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome. The report was a step forward for studying the HBV virus and for developing new drugs for liver cancer.
