  ABSTRACT: Patients with HCC continue to have a dismal prognosis, with 1-year and 3-year survival rates of 36 and 17%, respectively. This is in part related to more than two-thirds of tumors being diagnosed at advanced stages, as well as a substantial portion of patients with early HCC failing to receive potentially curative treatments. Systemic therapy for advanced unresectable HCC limited until the discovery of sorafenib, we are reporting a 53 year patient with unresectable HCC achieved complete remission clinically, radiologically and biochemically with sorafenib which is the first case report.
