A questionnaire-based survey involving 11,801 hemophiliacs from 54 hemophilia centers in the USA and Europe documented the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in 10 patients. The crude rate of HCC was 3.2/100,000 patientdyear, at least 30 times higher than the background incidence of this t

Hepataocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the top five common cancers among Asian Americans. The majority of the HCCs in this population are associated causally with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. With the newly available antiviral agents, by eliminating the virus at an early stage of HB
To elucidate the genetic events which may play important roles in hepatocarcinogenesis, we examined every nonacrocentric chromosome arm of 22 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) using 68 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers. Thirty-six (92%) of 39 chromosome arms s
Estrogen receptors (ER) were assayed on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and surrounding liver tissue in 30 adult patients. All specimens were obtained at the time of surgery. Cirrhosis of the liver was associated with 28 patients and chronic hepatitis in 2 patients. ERs were detected in 12 of 30 HCCs
