近年来国内外有不少报道关于病毒性肝炎、肝硬化和原发性肝细胞癌(简称肝癌)之间的关系。临床和病理资料已表明,病毒性肝炎可发展成肝硬化及肝癌,尤以肝硬化和肝癌的关系更为密切。自从发现乙型肝炎抗原(HBAg)以来,不仅为病毒性肝炎的研究开辟了新的途径,而且也给肝癌的研究指出了方向。 In recent years, there are many reports at home and abroad on the relationship between viral hepatitis, cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (referred to as liver cancer). Clinical and pathological data have shown that viral hepatitis can develop into cirrhosis and liver cancer, especially in cirrhosis and liver cancer. Since the discovery of hepatitis B antigen (HBAg), not only for the study of viral hepatitis has opened up new avenues, but also pointed to the direction of liver cancer research.
