Research Abstract |
We examined impact of hepatitis virus infection, radiation, as well as lifestyle on risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and biomarkers contributing to increased risk of HCC, using stored sera from a cohort of atomic bomb survivors. This study showed that radiation exposure contributed to increased risk of HCC, independently of hepatitis B and/or C virus infections, and that alcohol consumption, obesity, and smoking were each associated independently with increased risk of non-B, non-C HCC. Higher IL-6 levels contributed to increased risk of HCC irrespective of hepatitis virus infection.
