Tumour, cirrhotic, and metastatic tissues from four patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma have been investigated for the presence of hepatitis B viral DNA by nucleic acid hybridization. Tumours from two of three patients with a current HBV infection contained 1--2 genomes per cell of uninte
Twenty pediatric patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma in Taiwan were tested for HBsAg, and all were found to be positive. The youngest case was 8 months of age, five cases occurred between 9 and 10 years of age, and 14 cases occurred between 11 and 16 years of age. The serum a-fetoprotein
## Abstract Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is closely associated with the etioβpathogenesis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC). It has been proposed that infection with HBV early in life, frequently transmited by an HBVβcarrier mother, leads to persistent infection with HBV,
