Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is known to be associated with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but how and why they are connected remains unknown. Researchers from Mass General Brigham ...
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have developed the first transgenic nonhuman primate model—genetically modified to carry a human gene—for studying hepatitis B virus. The breakthrough ...
A new prognostic model could potentially predict and stratify the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who are noncirrhotic and not indicated for ...
As part of their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can establish an infection in liver cells, researchers led by teams at Memorial Sloan ...
(a) Kaplan–Meier survival curves for HBV reactivation-free survival according to AMBRI score. (b) Forest plot of risk groups based on multivariable Cox regression analysis, with the low-risk group as ...
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have officially classified the Hepatitis D virus (HDV) as carcinogenic to humans. This places HDV ...
The majority of liver cancer cases could be prevented by reducing levels of viral hepatitis, alcohol consumption and MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease—previously called ...
Liver cancer, primarily hepatocellular carcinoma, originates in the liver, with hepatitis B and C as major risk factors. Diagnosis involves physical exams, blood tests, imaging, and possibly biopsy to ...
