Core Tip

Core Tip: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the seventh most common cancer in the world and is usually associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Radical resection and antiviral therapy are considered key clinical treatments for patients with HBV-related HCC. However, many patients have their HCC and HBV infection detected at the same time, so they receive remedial antiviral treatment beginning in the perioperative period, missing the opportunity for long-term preoperative antiviral therapy. Therefore, evaluating the clinical efficacy and relevant factors of perioperative remedial antiviral therapy will be valuable.
