肝细胞癌(HCC)与慢性乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)联系紧密,虽有不少资料证明在肿瘤的病因学中病毒可起关键作用,但两者关系的性质仍未确定。对HCC成年黑人的HBV标记已作了研究,但在黑人儿童中尚未进行这种研究,而对儿童HCC患者的HBV进行研究将有助于进一步了解病毒与肿瘤的关系以及了解在HBV感染与HCC发生间的最短时间。在南非,HCC多见于年青黑人,为此研 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is closely linked with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). Although many data prove that the virus can play a key role in tumor etiology, the nature of the relationship between the two is still uncertain. Studies have been conducted on HBV markers of HCC in adult blacks, but such studies have not been conducted in black children, and research on HBV in children with HCC will help to further understand the relationship between the virus and the tumor and to understand the relationship between HBV infection and HCC The shortest time between occurrences. In South Africa, HCC more common in young black, for this study
