Primary Liver Cancer
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The incidence of primary liver cancer is increasing in several developed countries and the increase will likely continue for some decades. This is due to infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), which peaked in the 1950s to 1980s. In some developing countries, the incidence of primary liver cancer has decreased, possibly as a result of the introduction of hepatitis B vaccine. The geographic variability in incidence of primary liver cancer is largely due to the distribution and the natural history of HBV and HCV. [3]

Epidemiologic Characteristics of Liver Cancer in Iran (Including 4-Year Statistics of Pahlavi University of Medical Sciences)
Primary Carcinoma of the liver is a rare disease in Iran like most parts of the world. The incidence of this disease is about 2-8 times more in male than female but in Iran the ratio is almost equal between the two sexes. The highest incidence in this country is in the age groups of 41-50 and 51-60. This seems to be in a lower age group in comparison to the United Slates as well as in other...
