Previous studies have suggested that prior exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may increase the risk of development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of previous or occult HBV infection in a cohort of

## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBVβDNA in serum in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]) is common in chronic hepatitis C, its characteristics are not well known. In this work, the presence of HBVβDNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu
## Abstract Thirtyβfour patients from the Philadelphia area with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were matched with colon cancer patients, lung cancer patients and blood donors according to age and sex. Sera from the four groups were tested to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Hepatic steatosis is one of the histopathologic features of chronic hepatitis C. It was reported recently that the expression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein in transgenic mice induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in association with steatosis. The objective of
## 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
