Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) has been linked etiologically to persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections by epidemiologic, serologic and molecular lines of evidence. To evaluate the frequency of IgM antibody to the viral core antigen (IgM anti-HBc) detected by a highly sensitive radioim

## Background: The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) and the seroprevalence of hepatitis b virus (hbv) in this disease state are significantly higher in south india than in north india. because data on serologic studies do not project the actual association between the two parameters, thi
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of malignancy after renal transplantation in Asia, where hepatitis B virus infection is endemic. Early detection and resection are the key to successful treatment because the mortality rate for HCC is high. The value of β£-fetoprotein monitoring in th
A variety of prophylactic strategies are used to prevent the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission from antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc)-positive donors. The mechanisms underlying the failure of HBV immunoglobulin monoprophylaxis have been poorly evaluated. Seventy-seven anti-H
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reinfection and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are associated with increased graft failure and reduced patient survival. We evaluated the effects of both HCC recurrence and HBV reinfection on the long-term survival of
We have cloned the whole structural region of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome and transiently expressed the nucleocapsid protein in animal cells. Since the nucleotide sequences of this region of the HCV genome has been shown to be highly conserved among different HCV isolates, the assay detecting
