is fragmented with contribution from governmental and nongovernmental sectors. There is no integration and coordination between these sectors, and many health care providers do not notify cancer cases to the national cancer registry, making it less than representative. However, based on currently available data, crude incidence of liver cancer in Nepal is 0.9 and 0.8 per 100,000 in men and women respectively, and ASIRs are not known. The registry does not provide data on mortality rates associated with cancers. However, it was projected that age-adjusted mortality due to HCC in Nepal was 5.0 per 100,000 in 2000. Recent global disease burden estimation shows that age-adjusted annual mortality rates due to HCC is 2.8 per 100,000 in Nepal. 6
