肝癌的发病率在欧洲和美国似乎较低，它通常被视为发展中国家的一个问题。肝癌有两个主要的危险因素：酗酒和B和C型肝炎病毒的流行率升高。在意大利，第一种主要出现在北部，第二种出现在南部欠发达地区。我们的研究评估了居住在城市和郊区在南部的意大利在过度拥挤，卫生服务差，肝炎和肝癌的高发病率的条件之间的关系。
The incidence of liver cancer appears lower in Europe and the USA and it is often looked upon as a problem in developing countries. Liver cancer has two main risk factors: the abuse of alcohol and the elevated prevalence of hepatitis B and C viruses. In Italy the first one is mainly present in the North and the second one in Southern less developed areas. Our study evaluates the relationship between living in urban and suburban zones in South of Italy in conditions of overcrowding, poor health services and high incidence of hepatitis and liver cancer.
