Patient records from the Guam Cancer Registry were compared with patients listed in a health department viral hepatitis case registry and the numbers of liver cancer and viral hepatitis cases were compared by ethnicity. Hepatitis C was the form of viral hepatitis most common among liver cancer cases on Guam (63.3% of viral hepatitis-associated liver cancer cases). Since viral hepatitis is an important cause of liver cancer, studies such as the present one may provide the information necessary to establish programs (screening of populations at risk and infant vaccination in the case of hepatitis B, for example) that may lessen the impact of liver cancer in the future.
将关岛癌症登记处的患者记录与卫生部门病毒性肝炎病例登记处列出的患者进行比较，并按种族比较肝癌和病毒性肝炎病例的数量。丙型肝炎是关岛肝癌病例中最常见的病毒性肝炎形式（占病毒性肝炎相关肝癌病例的63.3%）。由于病毒性肝炎是肝癌的一个重要病因，像本研究这样的研究可能会提供必要信息，以制定相关项目（例如，对高危人群进行筛查以及对乙型肝炎进行婴儿疫苗接种），从而在未来减轻肝癌的影响。
