## 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

The recently identified hepatitis G virus (HGV, also named GB virus-C, GBV-C) appears to have similarities to hepatitis C virus and other flaviviridae. To better understand its clinical significance and hepatotropism, we collected liver tissue and matched serum samples from 56 patients undergoing li
## 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. There are etiologic variations of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in different geographic areas. Taiwan is a hyperendemic area for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection also plays an important role in HCC development in Taiwan. Identification of local HC
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has many genotypes which are closely associated with the severity of chronic hepatitis and the response to antiviral therapy. Although HCV is essentially hepatotropic, several lines of evidence suggest that this virus can infect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in mo
