Abstract: The infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) plays an important role in the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Multiple factors may be involved in the hepatocarcinogenesis of HBV-related HCC,such as inflammatory response,HBV X gene and its protein,the mutation of HBV core promoter and pre-S 2 genes,HBV spliced protein and so on. We will discuss some progresses in this field.

Key words: Hepatocellular carcinoma, Hepatitis B virus, Mechanisms
