Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide and in most cases it is either presented with or followed after viral-hepatitis. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection in hepatocytes is the major culprit for most HCC cases among Asians. HBV has high oncogenic potential and is regarded as group-I human carcinogen by World Health Organisation. The mechanism of HBV linked HCC is still under active investigation; moreover, the cytopathic changes in hepatocytes after HBV infection is vaguely studied. The progression of HBV cytopathology in infected hepatocytes is apparently associated with pathogenesis of HCC. The study of cytopathic changes in hepatocytes after HBV infection is one of the important aspect for understanding the mechanism of HBV linked HCC. In the present study we endeavoured to explore the HBV induced cytopathology of infected hepatocytes through FOLDSCOPE.
