✦ Synopsis

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an important etiologic agent of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although the mechanism whereby HBV causes HCC is not fully understood, it is likely that there are many relevant molecular pathways that contribute to the development of HBV-associated HCC. This review provides an overview of some of these proposed pathways and their relative importance. It also raises questions on basic and translational research that will signficantly contribute to the better understanding of underlying mechanisms, prevention, and treatment of this tumor type.

## Serological research suggests that hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is unclear how genes of hepatitis viruses participate in hepato carcinogenesis in patients infected with HCV. We investigated the expr
