Potent antiviral therapy (AVT) against hepatitis B virus (HBV) can induce regression
of liver fibrosis, thereby reducing the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) [
[1]
]. A high recurrence rate even after curative surgical resection of HCC remains a major
challenge [
[2]
].Keywords
