...[8] There are almost two times higher incidence of HCC among dark‐skinned males compared to light‐skinned males; a similar trend is seen among females with two times higher incidence rate among dark‐skinned when compared to light‐skinned.[8] The 5‐year survival trend has improved by >60% from 1975 to 2005....

...2/100,000 cases reported in 2011.[8] There are almost two times higher incidence of HCC among dark‐skinned males compared to light‐skinned males; a similar trend is seen among females with two times higher incidence rate among dark‐skinned when compared to light‐skinned....

...Hepatitis‐B virus HBV is the most common cause for HCC worldwide accountable for an estimated 54% of all liver cancers.[17,18] Chronic infection with HBV increases the relative risk for developing HCC 15–20‐fold with a mortality rate of approximately 30%–50% among all cases of chronic HBV infection....

...The severity of fibrosis has been linked with the probability of harboring HCC although there have been studies that showed development of HCC, even in the absence or with low‐grade fibrosis.[22] Furthermore, oxidative stress on the hepatocytes by reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation induced by the virus and host immune response leads to cell death and regeneration, subsequently leading to mutations in the hepatocytes and thereby development of HCC....

...HCV viremia is associated with increased risk of developing HCC with studies from the last decade showing decreased risk of HCC by nearly 57%–75% among IFN‐treated HCV patients.[22] With the newer direct‐acting agents, overall incidence of HCV‐induced HCC is likely to be significantly reduced....

...[39] HCV viremia is associated with increased risk of developing HCC with studies from the last decade showing decreased risk of HCC by nearly 57%–75% among IFN‐treated HCV patients.[22] With the newer HCV direct‐acting agents, the impact on incidence of HCV‐induced HCC is uncertain....

...[21] In the US, around 10%–16% of HCC cases are attributed to HBV.[22,23] Approximately 10% of HIV‑infected individuals are coinfected with chronic hepatitis B and are at higher risk of developing HCC than those with hepatitis B alone and in HIV patients with lower CD4+ counts....
