Abstract:
Objectives: studying the seroprevalence of HBsAg and anti-HCV in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and neoplasm of non-liver organs. Subjects and method: 124 patients with HCC and 284 patients with neoplasm of non-liver organs (i.e. stomach, colorectus and lung) were treated at Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital. This cross-sectional study was conductedfrom January 2002 to April 2003. Results: Out of 124 patients with HCC, HBsAg positive found in 95/124 (76.6%), anti- HCV positive found in 2/61 (3.28%), both HBsAg and anti-HCV posititive found in 1/61 (1.64%), and prevalence of anti-HCV is much lower than that of HBsAg, p<0.0001. Out of 284 patient with non-liver cancer, HBsAg posititive found in 33/284 (11.62%), and none among 179 patients has anti-HCV posititive. The prevalence of HBsAg posititive in HCC group is much higher than in non-liver cancer group (p<0.0001, OR=24.92).
