Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant tumors worldwide, especially in Eastern China where HBV infection confirmed as the most important pathological element.

We deduced that mutations of integrated HBx gene make transformation more malignant. The aim...
