Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the major cause of chronic hepatitis,
cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide, especially in the
Asia-Pacific region. Several hepatitis B viral factors predictive of clinical
outcomes in HBV carriers have been identified. The REVEAL-HBV study from
Taiwan illustrated the strong association between HBV DNA level at study
entry and risk of HCC overtime . In this community-based cohort study, male
gender, older age, high serum alanineaminotransferase (ALT) level, positive
HBeAg, higher HBV DNA level, HBV genotype C infection and core promoter
mutationare independently associated with a higher risk of HCC. Another large
hospital-based ERADICATE-B cohort of Taiwanese patients further validated
the findings of REVEAL-HBV. The risk of HCC started to increase when HBV
DNA level was higher than 2000 IU/mL. Both HBV DNA and HBsAg levels
were shown to be associated with HCC development. While HBV DNA level
had better predictive accuracy than HBsAg level when investigating the overall
cohort, in patients with HBV DNA level <2000 IU/mL, HBsAg level ≥1000 IU/mL
was identified as a new independent risk factor for HCC. With the results from
REVEAL–HBV, a risk calculation for predicting HCC in non-cirrhotic patients
has been developed and validated by independent cohorts (REACH-B).Taken
together, ample evidence indicates that HBsAg level can complement HBV
DNA level in predicting HCC development, especially in HBV carriers with low
viral load. In conclusion, HBV treatment guidelines should include the risk
stratification of HCC to individualize the management of HBV carriers with
different levels of HCC risk.
