The serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) level can predict hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative patients with an HBV DNA level of <2000 IU/mL. However, little is known regarding how well the combination of both viral biomarkers stratifies HCC risk.
