Hepatitis virus infection has been reported to be responsible for liver cancer in over 90% of all cases (hepatitis C infection has been implicated in 80% and hepatitis B infection in 10%). Control of hepatitis virus infection has resulted in a steady reduction in the incidence of liver cancer. Following advances in the treatment methods of hepatitis C, the percentage of cases with hepatitis from whom hepatitis C virus can be eradicated has increased in recent years, from the previously reported 30% (recorded with interferon alone therapy) to over 50%. Eradication of this virus from the body in patients with liver cirrhosis has been shown to lead to remission of fibrosis, although this was previously impossible. Therefore, we clarified that the incidence of cancer can be reduced by this eradication method. What is now desired for the control of hepatitis C infection, which is one of the most common diseases in the Japanese people, is that the treatment that has been reported to be the most effective and has become the global standard, is approved at the earliest in Japan. It is also important that appropriate measures be taken in groups of individuals that are at increased risk of developing liver cancer. ...
