Abstract:
Hepatitis B virus infection is one of the primary causes of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. The use of antiviral drugs significantly reduces the risk of liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), but some of the patients who receive antiviral drugs for a long time still develop liver cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to early identify and predict the risk of liver cancer in such patients. Currently, several models for predicting the risk of liver cancer during antiviral therapy in CHB patients have been developed based on the risk factors such as liver cirrhosis, age, sex, liver stiffness, virology, serological markers, alcohol consumption, and history of diabetes, including REACH-B, PAGE-B, mPAGE-B, APA-B, CAMD, AASL, and REAL-B. This article reviews the research advances in the models for predicting the risk of liver cancer during antiviral therapy in CHB patients.
