Core Tip	Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection adds complexity to treatment considerations of cancer patients. This is amplified by the absence of standard of care guidelines for the management of cancer patients with HCV infection. Not only can HCV infection result in the development hepatocellular cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but the presence of HCV infection in cancer patients can affect the treatment of malignancies with antineoplastic chemotherapies. Side effects of HCV therapy can be exacerbated in cancer patients due to underlying cytopenias and comorbidities. In those patients treated for HCV infection, cancer patients have poorer response to treatment than the general non-cancer population.
