1.Signed and dated informed consent.
2.Histological proven diagnosis of HCC. Patients with fibrolamellar or mixed histology are eligible.
3.Patient eligible for conservative hepatic resection, liver resection, with curative intent.
4.No cirrhosis or cirrhosis status with Child-Pugh score = 7 (status A or B7).
5.Men or women of at least 18 years of age.
6.Body mass index between 18.5 and 30 kg/m2 (WHO normal range: 18.5 – 25).
7.Life expectancy = 3 months.
8.Performance status 0 to 1 (ECOG).
9.Ability to swallow oral compound.
10.Patients must have adequate organ function including :
-Haematologic: WBC > 3000, ANC > 1500, platelets = 100,000, haemoglobin = 9 g/dl.

-Renal: Serum creatinine < 2 X UNL
-Prothrombin Time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) of PT, and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) < 1.5 X UNL; subjects receiving anti-coagulation therapy such as warfarin or heparin are allowed to participate if the coagulation parameters were within the above mentioned ranges prior to initiation of anticoagulant therapy.

10.Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or chronic hepatitis B or C.
11.Active clinically serious bacterial or fungal infections, i.e. grade 2 CTC [CTCAE] Version 3.
12.Any condition that is unstable or that could jeopardize the safety of the subject and his/her compliance with the study. Substance abuse or medical, psychological, or social conditions that could interfere with the subject’s adhesion to the study.

Name Time Method Main Objective: To assess anti-tumor activity of sorafenib in tumor samples from patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC);Secondary Objective: * To characterize pathologic findings in sorafenib pre-treated patients undergoing surgical resection for HCC.<br>* To evaluate the number of R0 resections<br>* To correlate pathological biomarkers changes in resected tumors after 4-week treatment with sorafenib in comparison with biopsies obtained prior to treatment.<br>* To evaluate plasma biomarkers at baseline, Day 28 and the day before surgery.<br>* To identify potential biomarkers of sensitivity and/or resistance on biological and pathological samples.<br>* To characterize the safety profile of sorafenib in the study population.<br>* To assess the tolerance of liver resection after sorafenib treatment.<br>;Primary end point(s): pathological changes
