Core Tip	Beyond sorafenib, limited systemic treatment options exist for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factor alpha (HIF-1alpha) have emerged as important factors in the development of HCC. This review focuses on the scientific background and pre-clinical data of HIF-1alpha and will conclude in a discussion of the clinical relevance of this transcription factor and its potential therapeutic role, particularly in combination with other therapies, in HCC. A phase IB clinical trial to investigate a HIF-1alpha mRNA antagonist in HCC patients who have failed first line systemic treatment is currently underway.
