HBV-host cfDNA as Minimal Residual Tumor Marker for HBV-related HCC (Liver Cancer) – Taiwan
HBV DNA integration has been found in the chromosomes of about 90% of HBV-related HCC and the integration site is unique to individual HCC.

Investigators will develop either HBV-specific inverse PCRs or capture-sequencing protocols to identify HBV integrations sites in the tumor chromosomes in patients who have had an HBV-related liver cancer tumor removed surgically.
