Core Tip	Previous studies on hepatitis B virus (HBV) status and pancreatic cancer risk have produced conflicting results. This study is the first study to use controls from the general population compared to previous hospital-based case-controls studies with age- and sex-matched controls. HBV infection was determined by measuring antibodies against hepatitis B core antigen and HBV surface antigen. The risk of HBV/hepatitis C virus infection was evaluated after adjustment for important risk factors such as age, sex, diabetes mellitus and smoking in a high-endemic HBV area.
