[Hepatitis B and hepatocellular carcinoma].

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most dangerous risk factors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). How HBV infection leads to the occurrence and development of HCC is complicated. It is not only related with physical condition of HBV infection host, environment, HBV genotype, HBV viral load and gene mutation, but also related with age of HBV infection host, types of infection, and host chromosome integration site.
