In addition,epidemiologists predictan increase in this figure by the year 2015, because of the rather high incidence of chronic liver diseases caused by HCY. The same situation has been observed in other Asian countries. It seems that HCC is likely to be an endemic disease, because of the higher preva lence of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis caused by HBV, HCV, and/or aflatoxins in Asian and African countries. We also note that an interesting paper appeared in a recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine describing the increase in younger HCC patients in the United States as compared with past decades. At present, silent hepatitis C infection is now smoldering in 4 million mostly unsuspecting Americans. Those carriers will be candidates for chronic liver disease, which is a pre disposing factor for the development of HCC. In Europe there are an estimated 5 million carriers. Accordingly, it is important to do all we can to reduce the prevalence of HCC not only in African and Asian countries, but | | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 2000 | | 关键词 | cancer; carcinogenesis; carcinoma; hepatitis; liver; liver disease; lymphocytes; prevention; screening; hepat | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-67913-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-67983-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-67913-4 | | copyright | Springer Japan 2000 |
