Liver cell cancer (‘hepatocellular carcino ma’; LCC) is one of the commonest cancers world-wide, involving millions of people and ranking 2nd in the world. Unlike most of the other cancers in the top 10 [1], it is quite uncommon in the Western world including the USA and Canada. Epidemiologically, there is a good (but not a perfect) correlation between the incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections, espe cially carrier states, and of liver cell cancer the world over [2, 3]. However, there is also increasing evidence that in some locations such as parts of China and Africa, at least one additional factor, exposure to mycotoxins. may play an important role in the etiology and/or pathogenesis of liver cancer [4], In the
