Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes B (HBV/B) and C (HBV/C) are the most prevalent genotypes among Japanese patients with hepatitis. Reportedly, HBV/C infection has been associated with more severe disease progression, manifesting as developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), than HBV/B infection. However, no long-term studies have examined the development of HCC in HBV/B-infected patients in Japan. The aims of our study were to compare the incidence of HCC in HBV/B or HBV/C-infected patients. A total of 241 patients were followed up among 295 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive carriers. Genotypes of HBV were A in 1% (4/295), B in 61% (179/295), C in 37% (110/295), and D in 1% (2/295) patients, and 96% of HBV/B were infected with subgenotype Bj. The mean age at HCC diagnosis was significantly higher in HBV/B than in HBV/C (67.0 ± 10.0 vs. 57.7 ± 8.0 years, p < 0.001). The value of FIB-4 index index was significantly higher in HBV/B than in HBV/C (p < 0.01). The rate of HCC was higher in HBV/C than in HBV/B, and a significant difference was observed until the 20-year observation period (p = 0.048). However, thereafter, HCC associated with HBV/B increased, and no significant difference was observed between HBV/B and HBV/C. HCC development was consistently observed even in HBV/B infection, especially among elderly patients with advanced fibrosis compared with HBV/C. HBV/B-infected patients developed HCC later in life, and in the long term, we found no differences in incidence of HCC development rates between these two genotypes.
