[Hepato-cellular carcinoma associated with HBs antigen: a study of 25 cases from Vietnam (author's transl)].
Using orcein staining and indirect immunofluorescence on paraffin sections, the authors demonstrated HBs Ag in 64% of 25 hepatocellular carcinomas (including "bone metastasis") in Vietnam. The main findings in the literature suggesting a causal role for hepatitis B virus in primary liver cancer are discussed.
