| Core Tip |
The protective role of a sustained virologic response (SVR) achieved by direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) against the chronic consequences of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is not well established. We examined the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or death from any cause in a retrospective-prospective study at our tertiary academic hospital center for liver disease management. We confirmed that DAA treatment is very effective in inducing SVR in HCV-infected patients and in protecting patients against HCC development or death. However, a residual risk of HCC persists, particularly in patients with advanced liver disease or with extra-hepatic HCV-related complications. |
