Abstract
The high prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in genetic hemochromatosis (GH) and the association between increased body iron stores and occurrence of HCC in subjects with iron overload unrelated to GH, and the experimental evidence of a co-carcinogenic role of iron strongly support that iron is involved in the development of HCC. © 2001 Blackwell Science Asia Pty Ltd.
