Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer death, and chronic hepatitis B is a serious worldwide problem. The epidemiology of HCC is distinctive. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) plays a major role in hepatocarcinogenesis. Prevention of HBV-related HCC is a key issue in current hepatology. This paper describes the prevention and clinical features of HBV-related HCC, along with a short review of the disease.

Mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas, such as Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), show variations in microRNA (miRNA) expression. The entity of High-grade B-cell lymphoma with 11q aberration (HGBCL-11q) shares several biological features with both BL and DLBCL but data on its miRNA expression profile are yet scarce. Hence, this study aims to analyze the potential differences in miRNA expression of HGBCL-11q compared to BL and DLBCL.
