Integration of HBV DNA into the host genome occurs at early steps of clonal tumour expansion, and it has been shown to induce direct insertional mutagenesis of diverse cancer-related genes in a number of cases.



nodknow the diff betn HBV and HCV=[I got q bank Q wrong..so.]

The precise mechanism by which HCV causes HCC is not known. Unlike the hepatitis B virus (HBV), HCV is not a DNA virus and does not become integrated within the genome of hepatocytes. It is more likely that HCC occurs against a background of inflammation and regeneration, associated with liver injury due to chronic hepatitis. Most, but not all, cases of HCV-related HCC occur in the presence of cirrhosis, suggesting that it is the underlying liver disease per se that is the risk factor for HCC rather than HCV infection. (4) The prevailing hypothesis has been that some cirrhotic nodules which grow larger than others (referred to as adenomatous hyperplasia) were the precursor for HCC. Recently, however, it has been suggested that foci of transformed hepatocytes may arise in between cirrhotic nodules and grow to become adenomatous hyperplasia and, eventually, HCC.
