Abstract
- Hepatitis B reactivation due to chemotherapy is a cause of serious morbidity and mortality in some of the patients with cancer. In this study, we retrospectively assessed the prevalence of hepatitis B reactivation among the patients undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy. We investigated efficacy of lamivudine prophylaxis against hepatitis B reactivation as well.
