The idea of hepatitis-cirrhosis-hepatocellular carcinoma sequence in liver was proposed by the workers in tropical Africa, the homeland of hepatocellular carcinoma. The discovery of Australia antigen by Blumberg et al provided the missing link and it was observed by several workers as well as the present group that Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBSAg) and that to Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is someway related with the incidence of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
肝癌的发源地热带非洲的研究人员提出了肝脏中肝炎-肝硬化-肝细胞癌序列的观点。布伦伯格等人发现的澳大利亚抗原提供了缺失的环节，包括本研究团队在内的一些研究人员观察到，乙肝表面抗原（HBSAg）以及乙肝病毒（HBV）在某种程度上与慢性肝病和肝细胞癌（HCC）的发病率有关。
