Occult Hepatitis B and Other Unexplored Risk Factors for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Latin America.

In conclusion, OBI and other causes involved in the epidemiology of HCC in Latin America are unexplored risk factors. Genome-based research is required to decipher the role of gene-environmental interactions associated with chronic liver disease. Novel algorithms to detect OBI supported by basic/applied/clinical research are also needed. PMID: 31208740 [PubMed - in process]
