Project Title:Identification of the mechanism of hepatitis B virus (HBV) integration in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Investigator(s):Dr. Guan X.Y.
Department:Clinical Oncology
Source(s) of Funding:Block Grant Earmarked for Research
Start Date:01/2003
Abstract:
Although the integration of HBV has been associated with the development of HCC, the molecular mehanism remains unclear. It is believed that HBV and host factors (e.g. inflammatory/genetic factors) may contribute together to the process of HCC development. Although the association of HBV and HCC development has been widely studied, only a limited number of integrated HBV have been completely analyzed. Therefore, additional studies with more cases are needed to understand roles of HBV integrants involved in the HCC development. In order to obtain additional insight into the correlation of HBV integration and HCC development, integrated HBV in 10-20 HCC cases will be isolated and characterized by sequencing analysis. findings in this project may greatly facilitate the early diagnosis and prevention of HCC.
