Article Synopsis
  • Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) poses a challenge for HBV control; a study in Huzhou City found a 0.070% prevalence of OBI among blood donors.
  • Among OBI cases, genotype C was the most common, and specific mutations in the surface (S) gene were associated with the infection, including several novel mutations not previously documented.
  • The study highlights the need for further research on these S gene mutations to understand their role in OBI and improve HBV transmission prevention in blood transfusions.

Background: The presence of macrovascular invasion (MVI) is associated with poor prognosis in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cinobufacini therapy via hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) in advanced HCC patients with MVI.

Methods: The clinical records of 130 consecutive patients with unresectable advanced HCC and MVI who had received Cinobufacini or cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (CF) treatment via HAI were retrospectively analyzed.
