## Abstract In hepatitis B virus (HBV)βendemic countries, the majority of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arises in HBV carriers. High frequency of mutations at nucleotides 1762(AβT) and 1764(GβA) in the core promoter region have been described in HCC. Due to the differences in genetic backgrounds,

## Abstract Antibodies against hepatitis C virus (antiβHCV) were detected in 60.8% of 78 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Cirrhosis, present in most of the patients, as well as alcohol abuse, age, sex, and Ξ±βfetoprotein were equally distributed in the antiβHCVβpositive and βnegative gr
## BACKGROUND. Recently, it has been reported that hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is detected in cancerous liver tissues in some hepatitis B surface antigen negative chronic hepatitis C patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the significance of HBV DNA detected in such cases remains u
In Japan, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers, with a reported fatality rate showing a consistent and significant increase in the last decade. At most, only 25% of HCC cases are positive for the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). To investigate a potential role for
To assess the differences in the surgical results between patients with hepatitis B- and hepatitis C-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the operative outcomes of 30 patients with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive (the B-HCC group) and 96 patients with hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb)-pos
Background. There is a hypothesis explaining the pathogenesis of carcinoma that increased proliferation of tissue cells correlates with the development of carcinoma, presumably by increased rate of random mutations and by promotion. In this study, the significance of hepatocellular proliferation in
