Analysis of TP53 gene mutations demonstrates that aflatoxin is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma in Guatemala

2019-10-31

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Guatemala has the highest incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the dominant type of liver cancer, in the Western Hemisphere. The major risk factors in Guatemala are not well-characterized, but the prevalence of hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) appear to be low, while the prevalence of aflatoxin (AFB 1 ) exposure appears to be high. To examine whether AFB...
