Molecular epidemiology of human liver cancer: insights into etiology, pathogenesis and prevention from The Gambia, West Africa.

Carcinogenesis - 1 Oct 2006

Kirk Gregory D, Bah Ebrima, Montesano Ruggero

Abstract excerpt

Human liver cancer, primarily hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is both common and lethal. Notable variation in HCC incidence rates worldwide corresponds to the prevalence and pattern of the primary etiologic factors. In summary of decades of collaborative research centered in The Gambia, West Africa, this review explores the independent and combined effects of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and...
