Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver disease and liver cancer worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality globally. Effective prevention and management strategies for HBV infection are crucial in reducing liver-related complications, including HCC. HBV plays a distinct role in liver carcinogenesis, and there is growing knowledge about the factors contributing to its oncogenic potential. With advancements in HCC management, special attention must be given to the treatment of HBV infection in patients with HBV-induced HCC. In this review, we summarize current insights into the carcinogenic mechanisms of HBV and discuss the latest approaches to managing HBV-induced HCC.
