Several studies have investigated the underlying pathogenesis of the disease and hypothesized that the interaction between the etiological factors (e.g. HCV, HBV, AFB and cirrhosis [7] and the hepatocytic genes result in functional (imbalance between pro - apoptotic and anti - apoptotic signaling) and structural genomic alterations(loss and gain of chromosomal regions resulting in deletion of tumor suppressor genes e.g, p53 and Rb genes) constituting the basis for HCC pathogenesis [8,44,189] UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
