Core Tip	The role of Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is still unclear in prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatitis C virus (HCV) eradication. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis that focuses on SWE as a predictor of HCC in sustained virologic response (SVR) patients.
