Hepatitis B surface detective to the incidence of liver cancer

Taiwan's latest study found that the blood of HBV patients in the liver or if there is pre-S (hepatitis B surface protein) mutant, about 56 percent of people 10 years Festival turned into liver cancer.

The researchers said, pre-S mutant strain of the hepatitis B patient will convey a special message of, liver cell injury, and slowly develop into cancer cells. Therefore, in theory, chronic hepatitis B patients can receive blood tests or check liver cells, the body detects whether there is a pre-S mutant antibody, the biotechnology pharmaceutical industry, manufacturers can also on this basis, the development of drugs blocking pre-S Mutant, inhibit the formation of liver cancer.
