| 1 | AIM: The aim of this study was to determine whether antiviral therapy with lamivudine is beneficial in patients after initial treatment for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). | Lamivudine | HCC | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Comparison was made between 16 patients who received lamivudine therapy at a dose of 100 mg/day after treatment for HCC (lamivudine group) and 33 patients who did not (control group) in terms of changes in remnant liver function, HCC recurrence and survival. | Lamivudine | HCC | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | All patients in the lamivudine group were able to receive curative treatment for recurrent HCC. | Lamivudine | HCC | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | CONCLUSION: It is suggested that lamivudine therapy is beneficial for patients after initial treatment for HBV-related HCC because it contributes to improving remnant liver function, thus decreasing the risk of liver failure and increasing the chances of receiving available treatment modalities for recurrent HCC. | Lamivudine | HCC | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | CONCLUSION: It is suggested that lamivudine therapy is beneficial for patients after initial treatment for HBV-related HCC because it contributes to improving remnant liver function, thus decreasing the risk of liver failure and increasing the chances of receiving available treatment modalities for recurrent HCC. | Lamivudine | HCC | Homo sapiens |
