Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The hepatitis B virus X (HBx) protein plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). One potential mechanism by which HBx can cause liver cancer may involve intracellular distribution and consecutively modulation of the proliferative important STAT/SOCS signaling with upregulation of STAT3. METHODS: 153 Vietnamese HBV-infected patients, including 48 patients with HCC,...
