Excerpt

Chronic hepatitis C is the most common blood-borne viral infection in the USA and a leading cause of chronic liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The complications of HCV infection are preventable. Antiviral treatment with sustained virological response (SVR) is associated with a 71–76% reduction in HCC risk1 and a 74% reduction in risk of death compared to ongoing active infection.2
