## BACKGROUND. To determine whether interferon (IFN) therapy can reduce incidence of the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma equally in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) who responded differently to therapy, a retrospective analysis of 250 patients treated with IFN wa
BACKGROUND. Interferon (IFN) has been reported to have beneficial long term effects that reduce the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), even in patients who do not have complete responses to IFN. The authors evaluated the effect of retreatment with IFN-␣ on the long term prognoses of those
Many studies have demonstrated in animal experiments that persistent inflammation may accelerate the development of carcinoma. In this article, the question of whether the persistent elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (which represents the inflammatory necrosis of hepatocytes)
