Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The safety of Nexavar in all patients with unresectable HCC who are candidates for systemic therapy and in whom a decision to treat with Nexavar has been made under real-life practice conditions	at each follow-up visit, every 2-4 months on average

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Efficacy [overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), time to progression (TTP), response rate (RR), stable disease(SD) rate] by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) Criteria of Nexavar	at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months
The duration of therapy with Nexavar in a variety of settings according to patient characteristics and other variables	at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months
Reports of adverse events	at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months
To evaluate the methods of patient evaluation, diagnosis and follow up	at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months
To evaluate the co-morbidities in patients with unresectable HCC and their influence on treatment and outcome	at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months
To evaluate the practice patterns of the physicians involved in the care of patients with HCC under real-life conditions	at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months
