## Abstract The role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in carcinogenesis of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)‐negative, anti‐hepatitis C virus (anti‐HCV)‐positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. To investigate the state of HBV DNA in such HCC, HBV DNA was examined by polymerase chain rea

## Abstract DNA of free hepatitis B viruses (HBV) has been detected in the liver of patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is unknown whether HBV DNA is integrated into such livers; if so, it may affect hepatocarcinogenesis. Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) from 34 patients without HBV
Serum alpha-fetoprotein level is often elevated in patients with chronic liver disease and patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. One of the most difficult problems frequently encountered in practice is differentiating hepatocellular carcinoma from chronic liver disease. This study investigated the
The hepatitis B virus-associated delta antigen was detected in the serum of a young female drug addict with acute hepatitis and a previous history of hepatitis B surface antigen carrier. Delta antigen was associated with a 35to 37-nm subpopulation of hepatitis B surface antigen particles which bande
