Hepatocellular carcinoma among HBsAg positive blood donors in Fukuoka, Japan

Cofactors associated with liver disease mortality in an HBsAg‐positive Mediterranean cohort: 20 years of follow‐up

“…In Japan, where HCC has been related mainly to HCV infection, an excess mortality due to HCC and LC in HBV carriers was also found. [10][11][12][13][14][15] In China and Taiwan, where HCC has been related mostly to HBV, the estimated risks for HCC among men vary between 7 and 103, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] showing higher risks than those in other geographical areas. The higher risk of death from liver disease found in South East Asia has also been reported in Western studies.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Most of these studies have been carried out in Asian countries (4 in China, [3][4][5][6] 2 in Taiwan 7-9 and 6 in Japan [10][11][12][13][14][15] ); 4 in Western countries (2 in the US, 16,17 1 in the UK 18,19 and 1 in 20 )…”

A Case-Control Study on Liver Cancer in the Chikuho Area, Fukuoka Prefecture.

“…Several papers have been published in Japan on the RRs of HCC for HBs antigen positive. Iijima et al (1984) and Tokudome et al (1988) reported that the observed to ex- Table 4 Diseases among controls pected ratios of liver cancer death among HBs antigen positive blood donors were 10.4 and 7.25 respectively in cohort studies. Inaba et al (1981), Tsukuma et al (1990) and Tanaka et al (1991) reported that the RRs of HCC for HBs antigen positive were 10.0, 14.3 and 15.3 respectively in case control studies.…”
