High efficacy of direct-acting anti-viral agents in hepatitis C virus-infected cirrhotic patients with successfully treated hepatocellular carcinoma

2018

Background: The efficacy of direct-acting anti-viral (DAA) therapy in patients with a history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. Aim: We prospectively evaluated whether previously treated HCC affects DAA efficacy in a large real-life cohort of cirrhotic patients. Methods: From January to December 2015 all consecutive HCV mono-infected patients with cirrhosis and/or history of HCC attending 10 Italian tertiary liver centres were enrolled. Baseline characteristics and response to therapy were recorded. 1927 patients were enrolled (mean age: 62.1 10.9 years; 1.205 males). Genotype 1 was the most frequent (67.9%) followed by genotypes 3 (12.4%), 2 (11.2%) and 4 (8.6%). 88.4% and 10.9…

Predictors of hepatocellular carcinoma in HCV cirrhotic patients treated with direct acting antivirals

2018

Background: Despite the dramatic improvement in viral eradication rates that has been reached with direct antiviral agents (DAAs),the real benefit of viral eradication after DAAs on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development is still controversial. Aim: To prospectively assess the risk of HCC occurrence and early recurrence in a large cohort of DAAtreated HCV-cirrhotic patients and to identify potential predictors of HCC development. Methods: We analyzed data prospectively collected from 1927 consecutive HCV-infected cirrhotic patients treated with DAA from January to December 2015 in 10 tertiary liver centers in Italy and followed-up for one year after therapy. 161 patients had a previous …
