For example, the direct role that Hepatitis B virus (HBV) plays in the development of liver cancer is well known. Nevertheless, in other cases, as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) or Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) the direct role of viral replication in cancer progression is still controversial, especially in some areas, like Italy, where these infections are endemic %K Hepatitis C virus %K HCV Genotypes %K Hepatitis B virus %K Hepatocellular carcinoma %K Chemotherapy %K Viral reactivation %K Cirrhosis %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5842385/
