Peg-IFN therapy may be effective as an adjuvant chemopreventive agent after hepatic resection in patients with HCV-related HCC.

We investigated the impact of polymorphisms in host innate immunoregulatory genes on the development of infectious complications after liver transplantation (LT). 3%), of which one third was methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. No differences were observed in the incidence of fungal infections or in cytomegalovirus infections with respect to the three gene polymorphisms. Our findings indicate that FcgR SNPs are predisposing factors for BSI and can predict mortality after LT. This study provides a foundation for further prospective studies on a larger scale.
