Core Tip	In general, patients with cirrhosis who are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are at a higher risk for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) compared with patients without cirrhosis. Antiviral treatments for patients with cirrhosis and HCV may reduce the occurrence of HCC and/or prevent the progression to hepatic failure. In this review, we discussed the sustained virological response (SVR) rates of interferon-containing and interferon-free regimens for these patients. Recent advances in the development of direct-acting antivirals against HCV have improved the SVR rates and have reduced the occurrence of adverse events during treatment. Interferon-free regimens might improve the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and HCV.
