Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the major keys to cause cancer-related mortality in the whole world, with the majority of patients related to persistent infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV), especially in Asian and African, while HCV in Europe and America. HBV is the smallest DNA-containing, enveloped mammal virus known so far. High tissue and species specii¬city, unique genome and replication mechanism make HBV be shrouded in mystery. A high HBV load is the most significant risk…

The impact of anti-HBV treatment on the occurrence and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma: focus on Asian studies.

This review will focus on Asian clinical studies, where there is a higher prevalence of CHB and HCC, and the outcomes of antiviral therapies on HCC in these Asian studies were compared to those in the Western studies.

Epidemiology and Prevention of Hepatitis B Virus Infection

The implement of mass HBV immunization program is recommended by the WHO since 1991, and has dramatically decreased the prevalence of HBV infection and HCC in many countries.

While novel anti-viral drugs have improved the management of cirrhosis, strategies to prevent and treat HCC remain inadequate.

New insight in the pathobiology of hepatitis B virus infection

Current knowledge of factors influencing the course of HBV infection is summarized, giving emphasis on the use of novel assays and quantitative serological and intrahepatic biomarkers as tools for predicting treatment response and disease progression.

Role of antiviral therapy in reducing recurrence and improving survival in hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma following curative resection (Review)

Viral treatment for HBV-associated HCC is described as a strategy to reduce recurrence and improve survival in the present review.

Molecular epidemiology of HBV infection in chronic hepatitis B virus infected patients in northeast India

Higher presence of e‐positive cases and genotype C along with the mixed genotypes in NEI is unique and of significance with reference to predisposition to disease severity and even response to antiviral therapy.

Cellular inhibitor of apoptosis proteins prevent clearance of hepatitis B virus

It is shown that cellular inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (cIAPs) attenuate TNF signaling during hepatitis B infection, and they restrict the death of infected hepatocytes, thus allowing viral persistence.
