title: [A statistical morphological analysis of cirrhosis and primary liver cancer (based on autopsy data from the clinics of the I. M. Sechenov 1st Moscow Medical Institute)].
abstract: Liver cirrhosis (LC) comprises 2.1% of 17,458 autopsies in the pathology department for the period from 1962 to 1987, the incidence has increased during the last decade. LC is more frequent in males than in females (ratio 1.36:1.0), the highest incidence in males being at the age of 40-49 years, in females 50-59 years. The main etiological factors of LC, growing in importance, are hepatitis B virus (28.6%) and ethanol (26.1%). The incidence of primary liver carcinoma is 0.9% of all the autopsies, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being predominant (86.3%); it develops more frequently in LC of viral and ethanol etiology. This liver carcinoma has become more frequent in the last decade. Primary liver carcinoma, particularly HCC, is more frequent in males than in females (ratio 3.1:1.0), age peak between 50 and 59 years in males and 60-62 years in females.
