Abstract

These results support the hypothesis that HCV-induced inflammation causes oxidative DNA damage and promotes hepatocarcinogenesis which directly affects the clinical outcome. Since patients with greater intra-hepatic oxidative stress had a higher incidence of HCC recurrence, we suggest that oxidative stress biomarkers could potentially be used as a useful clinical diagnostic tool to predict the duration of disease-free survival in patients with HCV-associated HCC.
