The hepatitis B virus (HBV) profile was investigated in 104 age-grouped hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and 84 controls from the Philippines. The HCC-control percent positivities of the HBV parameters are: HBsAg: 70-18; anti-HBs: 25-37; anti-HBs: 25-37; anti-HBc: 94-35; HBeAg: 5-2; anti-HBe: 60-30; HBV exposure rate: 97-57; current infection: 80-31. Male HCC anti-HBs positivity is significantly lower than in controls. Female HCC patients' anti-HBs are also lower than controls, but this difference is not statistically significant. Simultaneous presence of HBsAg and anti-HBs was found only in male HCC patients. The mean anti-HBc titer of anti-HBs-positive HCC is higher than that of controls. That of HCC patients negative for both HBsAg and anti-HBs is also higher than the corresponding controls. Anti-HBe positivities of infected and noninfected but previously exposed HCC patients are not significantly different, in contrast to noninfected previously exposed controls whose anti-HBe is lower than those with current infection. The exposure rate prevalence of current infection, and the antibody responses to HBV of HCC patients suggested a close relationship between the two conditions in the Philippines.
