Abstract:
Nowadays it is generally believed that chronic hepatitis C patients who are treated with interferon combined with ribavirin and achieve sustained virologic response are considered cured,but in clinical practice,some patients develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after achieving sustained virologic response.This article summarizes and analyzes the studies on chronic hepatitis C patients who developed HCC after achieving sustained virologic response and identifies the risk factors for the development of HCC.It has been proved that some of the risk factors,such as male sex,age,liver cirrhosis,and diabetes,may be related to the development of HCC,but a lot of risk factors still await for further investigation.
