  abstract = {{I}ntroduction: {T}he etiology of several hepatocellular carcinoma ({HCC}) cases remains largely unknown. {A}lthough {F}asciola hepatica has been associated with liver fibrosis in {L}atin {A}merica, it has not yet been associated with {HCC}. {T}his study aimed to determine the existence of specific {I}g{G} antibodies against {F}. hepatica in the serum samples of {HCC} patients. {M}ethods: {I}n total, 13 scrum samples from 13 {HCC} patients were screened using {F}as2-{ELISA}. {R}esults: {F}as2-{ELISA} demonstrated negative results in all {HCC} patients included in this study. {C}onclusions: {T}he pre-existence of {F} hepatica infection in {HCC} patients needs to be further investigated in epidemiological and experimental studies.},
