Clinicopathologic comparison of hepatitis B virus-related and hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma
Abstract:
137 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with cirrhosis that had undergone resection between 1991-95 have been analyzed. One hundred and three had hepatitis C (positive for anti HCV alone) and 34 hepatitis B (positive for HBsAg alone). The hepatitis C cases were older and were associated with more severe cirrhosis. The tumors from hepatitis B cases were on average larger and histologically less-differentiated, and were more likely to occur in the background of macronodular cirrhosis than hepatitis C cases.
