| Response from Dr. McGovern
 In untreated patients, the annual incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) differs according to the initial characteristics of the patient population. In carriers without cirrhosis the risk varies with geographical region from 0.2 to 0.6 per cent per year. HCC usually occurs in patients who have underlying hepatitis. Dr. McGovern | ||||||||
