摘要
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a relatively common cancer worldwide. Chronic viral hepatitis, with progression to cirrhosis, remains the predominant risk factor for HCC. Although most HCC cases arise in hepatitis B-endemic areas outside North America, the United States is experiencing a significant rise in cases associated with cirrhosis from hepatitis C. This article reviews the link between chronic viral hepatitis B and C and HCC. Advances in the understanding of HCC epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, prevention, screening, and treatment are reviewed.
