The newer oral treatments for chronic hepatitis C virus infection are one of the greatest revolutions in modern medicine. These drugs promise to eradicate the infection, showing high cure rates even in difficult to treat populations with very few side effects. Nevertheless, some cases of recurrence and hepatocellular carcinoma after treatment with these drugs have been reported. We describe two cases of patients treated with direct-acting antiviral agents that developed hepatocarcinoma during follow-up post-treatment.
慢性丙型肝炎病毒感染的新型口服治疗方法是现代医学最伟大的变革之一。这些药物有望根除感染,即使在难以治疗的人群中也显示出高治愈率,且副作用极少。然而,已经有一些关于使用这些药物治疗后复发和肝细胞癌的病例报道。我们描述了两例接受直接抗病毒药物治疗的患者,他们在治疗后的随访期间发生了肝癌。
