Primary Outcome Measures:

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 [ Time Frame: at each follow-up visit, every 2-4 months on average ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

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 [ Time Frame: at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The duration of therapy with Nexavar in a variety of settings according to patient characteristics and other variables [ Time Frame: at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To evaluate the methods of patient evaluation, diagnosis and follow up [ Time Frame: at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To evaluate the co-morbidities in patients with unresectable HCC and their influence on treatment and outcome [ Time Frame: at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To evaluate the practice patterns of the physicians involved in the care of patients with HCC under real-life conditions [ Time Frame: at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Reports of adverse events [ Time Frame: at every visit, roughly every 2-4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
