Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common cancer in The Gambia. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is endemic, with 15% to 20% of the population being chronic carriers, whereas hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence is low. We recruited 216 incident cases of HCC and 408 controls from three sites.
## Abstract Serum samples from 87 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the United States were tested for evidence of hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection using an immunoblot assay for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus and the polymerase chain reaction to detect HCV RNA. The findings with
## BACKGROUND. The effect of prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on the clinicopathologic findings for patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still unclear. ## METHODS. Of 59 patients who underwent liver resection for HCV-related HCC (Υ 2.0 cm in greate
## BACKGROUND. Although there have been many seroepideniiologic studies on hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence. the actual role of I ICV in hepatocarcinogenesis is unknown. ## METHODS. We have previously reported on a highly sensitive method of detectin
## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBVβDNA in serum in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]) is common in chronic hepatitis C, its characteristics are not well known. In this work, the presence of HBVβDNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu
