Abstract
Many arguments have been developed for a filiation of hepatitis B, cirrhosis and primary liver cancer (PLC). The hypothesis in favor of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) as an indirect agent of PLC was supported by epidemiological and anatomo-clinical data. The study of the serological markers of HBV was performed in groups of Senegalese patients who were suffering from hepatitis B, cirrhosis or PLC and 2 control groups (blood donors and other cancers). The results concern the sequence leading from hepatitis B to PLC.
