[Pathogenesis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and infection of hepatitis virus].
OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between hepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma and the infection of HB (C)V. METHODS Combined with clinical data, immunohistochemistry was used to detect HBXAg antigen and HCV-C protein in 68 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. RESULTS Six cases(8.8%) were positive to HBXAg antigen and 24 cases (35.0%) to HCV-C protein respectively. One case was positive to both HBXAg antigen and HCV-C protein. There were statistical differences in differentiation and invasion, lymph node metastasis, treatment between hilar cholangiocarcinomas infected HB(C)V and those non-infected. CONCLUSIONS HBXAg antigen and HCV-C protein may play an important role in the pathogenesis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Hilar cholangiocarcinoma infected HB(C)V may have a high malignancy and more poor prognosis.
