Exploring the relationship between vitamin D and hepatic carcinoma in individuals diagnosed with hepatitis B virus infection.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to examine the distribution and prognostic implications of serum vitamin D levels among individuals diagnosed with primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) attributable to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
