Core Tip	It has been widely reported that primary liver cancer (PLC) has a poor prognosis and is increasing in many industrialised countries. We highlight an ongoing increase in the incidence of PLC in England and Wales, rendering artefactual explanations for the increase ever less convincing and, for the first time, describe ethnic variability in the incidence. More widespread use of histology in the confirmation of PLC is being embarked upon in England and Wales. These findings suggest that more aggressive screening efforts would be beneficial in England and Wales so as to improve survival. Targeted prevention programmes, including vaccination of at-risk population may be worthwhile.
