Abstract
Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are at high risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous studies suggested that menopause may increase the risk of HCC. We investigated the association between bilateral oophorectomy (BO) and the risk of HCC in women with HCV infection.
