[Clinical analysis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with non-A, non-B hepatitis virus].
An analysis of 242 patients with a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has shown that 65 patients without a hepatitis B virus (HBV), alcohol abuse, or a transfusion history and 17 posttransfusion patients had a mean death age of 65.5 +/- 10.2 and 62.1 +/- 8.4 years respectively. The average age of 65 patients was 8.5 years older than those with a HBV and without a alcohol abuse history. Of 17 patients, 3 with a HBV had a mean death age of 55.3 +/- 10.8 years and the interval time from transfusion to a HCC was significantly shorter than in other post-transfusion patients.
