Role of Hepatitis C Virus In Hepatocellular Carcinonta
Mohamed Mohsen Abdel Alim;
Abstract
Cancer remains a hugely expensive public health problem all over the world, both in economic terms and in terms of the amount ofhuman suffering it produces.
Tumors of the liver represent one of the most common malignancies in the world. The annual international incidence of the disease is some 1 million cases, with a male to female ratio of about 4:1.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common hepatic malignancy, is a major public health problem in certain parts of the world, because it is a leading cause of death.
The principal reason for the high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the frequency of chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Infection lies in its ability to cause insidious and progressive liver damage in the majority of those infected. At least 70% of the individuals who contract HCV will develop chronic infection and hepatitis20% to 50% of these eventually will progress to cirrhosis and 1% to 2% will develop liver cancer after a 10- to -
20 year period.
As long as hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus that is not reverse
