Core Tip	Introduction of nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) for oral antiviral therapy has dramatically improved the clinical outcome in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). While attention has been drawn to whether antiviral treatment with NAs can be a finite therapy in patients with CHB, current guidelines for stopping NA therapy seems to be inadequate in terms of off-treatment durability in both hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg)-positive and HBeAg-negative patients. In the present work, we discussed the validity of current stopping rules of NA therapy and addressed areas of uncertainty in deciding the best timing to stop NA treatment.
