Abstract
We propose that hepatitis virus can cause an increase in the incidence of liver cancer by a combination of two mechanisms: (1) cell killing and stimulation of mitosis leading to an accumulation of events necessary for transformation, and (2) an increase in chromosomal instability mediated by induced recombinogenic protein(s) during chronic hepatitis.Entities:
