ABSTRACT
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are classified as oncogenic human viruses. Chronic HBV and HCV infections are associated with higher risk of haematological malignancy development. Direct and indirect oncogenic mechanisms have been demonstrated for both HBV and HCV in several studies. HCV and overt/occult HBV infections in patients with oncohaematological disease constitute an impediment and a threat during immunosuppressive chemotherapy treatment. We review the HBV and HCV oncogenic mechanisms and the impact and the safety of antiviral treatment in patients with haematological malignancies.
