Abstract:Objective: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a risk factor for primary liver cancer. This article aims to explore the relationship between the preoperative HBV infection status and the prognosis after liver cancer resection. Methods: Totally, 910 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing radical resection were randomly selected. Clinicopathological information, preoperative hepatitis B marker serological examination, and follow-up data were used to analyze the relationship between preoperative hepatitis B infection status and patient prognosis. Results: 95.1% of patients undergoing surgery for liver cancer had hepatitis B virus infection, of whom the "small three positives" were the most common, accounting for 57.0%. The postoperative tumor-free survival rate and overall survival rate of HBV-DNA-positive patients were significantly lower than those of negative patients (P<0.05). HBV-DNA was positively correlated with liver cirrhosis, alpha-fetoprotein level, tumor size, and vascular invasion (P<0.001). Conclusions: Enhancing the detection of hepatitis B serum markers is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of liver cancer and could improve patient prognosis.
