在臺灣，肝癌為男性因癌致死亡之首要原因，吾人希望多瞭解過去醫療資源較為不足的高雄縣北部肝癌之現.。吾人回顧義大醫院155 位（男性109 位，女性46 位）經病理學証實為肝癌患者之臨床記錄，依其肝炎病毒感染狀.之不同而分為四組，再加以分析、統計臨床表現等有關資枓。本研究顯示肝癌合併B型肝炎病毒病感染者男性比女性最為常見; Ｃ型肝炎病毒病感染者男性比女性最不常見(p < 0.0001)。本研究另顯示肝癌合併同時B 及C 型肝炎病毒感染者AST最高;並無合併B 或C 型肝炎病毒感染者AST 最低 (p < 0.005)。北高雄某醫院合併B 型肝炎病毒感染肝癌之發病年齡較北臺灣等者為晚。合併Ｃ型肝炎病感染或B 型肝炎病毒感染仍為肝癌主要原因。肝癌患者中男性較女性多，尤其是B型肝炎病毒感染者。

In Taiwan, Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of mortality of malignance of male patients. We want to know current status of HCC and hepatitis virus infection in a hospital at north Kaohsiung area. We retrospectively analysed clinical records of 155 pathologically proven HCC outpatients (male: 109; female: 46) in E-Da Hospital. Results revealed that male suffered more common from HCC in those complicated with hepatitis B infection than in those complicated with hepatitis
C infection (p < 0.0001) in a hospital at north Kaohsiung. In addition, those complicated with hepatitis B and C infection had higher liver function test impairment (AST) than those without hepatitis B or C infection (p < 0.005). HCC complicated with hepatitis B infection occurred later than those in north Taiwan. This study also revealed that HCC was majorly complicated with either hepatitis B or C infection.
Male suffered more common from HCC, especially those complicated with hepatitis B infection.
