“…Several studies have concluded that the eradication of HCV infection slows the progression of the disease, improves the survival, and reduces the incidence of liver failure and the risk of developing liver cancer [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] . The understanding of the natural history of chronic hepatitis C and its long-term consequences is essential to enable appropriate decisions on treatment, but unfortunately the natural history of HCV infection is still the subject of much controversy.…”

“…(1) host-related risk factors: Older age, Asian ethnicity, male sex, alcohol intake and advanced liver disease [55][56][57] ; (2) viral risk factors: HBV genotype C, mutations of pre-S, enhancer-H, core promoter, HCV or hepatitis Delta virus infection and PC/BCP HBV variants [45,58] ; and (3) risk factors related to host-virus interaction: Cirrhosis, high HBV-DNA serum levels, prolonged HBeAg positivity, prolonged HBsAg positivity and high HBsAg serum levels [59][60][61][62] . Lastly, the HCC risk factors in chronic HBV infection are different and the pathogenesis is characterized by the combined action of different alterations involving genetic, epigenetic and immunological factors [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71] (Figure 1).…”

“…Despite the progress achieved in understanding the cancer process and the impact of this knowledge on treatment, primary prevention remains the most effective approach to reduce cancer mortality in both developed and developing countries for the near future [9,37,38,50,51,56,309] . …”

“…35 Combination of biomarkers can offer substantial advantages with respect to AFP alone. 36 In a nested case-control study, des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin and AFP had sensitivities of 74% and 61% for HCC at any stage, but these increased to 91% by using the 2 markers in combination. 37 The removal of AFP from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases guidelines has been still questioned.…”

“…34 Serologic tumor bio markers include AFP, des-gamma-carboxy prot hrombin, the ratio of glycosylated AFP (L3 fraction) to total AFP, alpha-fucosidase, and glypican-3. 35,36 Alpha-fetoprotein is still the most widely tested biomarker for HCC despite its suboptimal performance for surveillance. 34 Serum levels of AFP can fluctuate along with exacerbation of underlying liver disease and can present in the normal range when HCC is at an early stage.…”
