Introduction The results of previous studies on the comparison of the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and entecavir (ETV) are still controversial
.
Recently, J Gastroenterol Hepatol published a meta-analysis to assess whether there are differences in the incidence of HCC in general or specific subgroups of CHB patients treated with TDF or ETV
.
CONCLUSIONS: In CHB patients, TDF treatment was associated with a reduced risk of HCC compared with ETV treatment
.
Methods: PubMed and other databases were systematically searched for relevant studies involving the hazard ratio (HR) of HCC in CHB patients treated with TDF and ETV
.
The search date range was from January 2009 to October 2021
.
A total of 24 studies were included, including 109,865 CHB patients, of which 37,771 received TDF and 72,094 received ETV

Furthermore, in addition to HCC risk, the antiviral efficacy and safety of each drug for each patient subgroup should be considered when selecting the best therapeutic agent for CHB
