Core Tip	Hepatocellular carcinoma is the prime mani-festation of primary liver cancer. Besides, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection accounts for nearly 50% of hepatocellular carcinoma cases worldwide. The injuries afflicted by HBV infection are predominantly immune-mediated. Th1/Th2 cytokines play a significant role in modulating almost all phases of the host immune response. Moreover, cytokine production and response is genetically controlled. Hence, the population-based variability in patterns of cytokine polymorphisms, might alter the ability of an individual to mount an appropriate immune response, thus causing a differential effect on the progression of the HBV disease pathogenesis.
