The relationship between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was investigated. Antibody to hepatitis C virus was detected in 88.8% and 87.0% of 240 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis, respectively. A history of blood transfusion was shown in only 21.8% (21/96) of the HCV antibody positive HCC patients. Of 196 patients with chronic hepatitis type C and the HCV antibody positive liver cirrhosis, 10 developed HCC during the follow-up period of two years. A high prevalence of HCV antibody was also shown among 83 patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and HCC associated with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. HCV-RNA was detected in all patients with alcoholic HCC. These data support a causal association between hepatitis C virus and hepatocellular carcinoma.
对肝细胞癌(HCC)与丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染之间的关系进行了研究。在240例肝细胞癌患者和肝硬化患者中,分别有88.8%和87.0%检测到丙型肝炎病毒抗体。在HCV抗体阳性的HCC患者中,仅有21.8%(21/96)有输血史。在196例慢性丙型肝炎患者和HCV抗体阳性的肝硬化患者中,有10例在两年的随访期内发生了HCC。在83例酒精性肝硬化患者以及与酒精性肝硬化相关的HCC患者中,HCV抗体的患病率也很高。在所有酒精性HCC患者中均检测到HCV-RNA。这些数据支持丙型肝炎病毒与肝细胞癌之间存在因果关联。
