Abstract: Objective To explore characteristics of serum HBV genotype of HBsAg positive patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC). Methods Total of 97 cases of HBsAg positive patients with PHC were detected by HBV genotype. Results In 97 cases, there are 38 cases (39.1%) with genotype B and 54 cases (55.7%) with genotype C. There are 33 HBeAg positive cases (35.9%) in 92 cases of HBV genotype B and C. Conclusions HBV genotype C is mainly in HBsAg positive patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma and most of them are HBeAg negative and have history of chronic hepatitis B.
