Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Among Parous Taiwanese Women: Nationwide Cohort Study

Abstract

The risk for hepatocellular carcinoma was statistically significantly higher among women with chronic or active HBV infections and among those with persistent HBV infection or who underwent HBsAg seroclearance during follow-up than among HBV-unexposed women. This risk decreased as parity increased, independent of HBsAg status and age.
