Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment with Interferon (IFN)-free direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) showed high rates of success, leading to substantial changes in this field. However, limited data are available about the evolution of liver disease after HCV eradication. Recently, published studies on the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after HCV treatment raised questions on the real benefit of treatment of patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. We report a case of a 45-years-old cirrhotic patient successfully treated with DAAs who developed an HCC after HCV eradication.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment with Interferon (IFN)-free direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) showed high rates of success, leading to substantial changes in this field. However, limited data are available about the evolution of liver disease after HCV eradication. Recently, published studies on the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after HCV treatment raised questions on the real benefit of treatment of patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. We report a case of a 45-years-old cirrhotic patient successfully treated with DAAs who developed an HCC after HCV eradication.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
