Marked genetic similarities between hepatitis B virus-positive and hepatitis C virus-positive hepatocellular carcinomas
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common neoplasms worldwide. Well-established risk factors include infections with two very different viruses: the DNA virus causing hepatitis B (HBV) and the RNA virus inducing hepatitis C (HCV). In order to determine whether genetic differences exist between HBV- and HCV-induced HCC, 41 HCC samples of known vival status were examined by comparative genomic...
