## Abstract Interferon treatment for chronic hepatitis C reduces the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in sustained responders. However, estimation of the effect of interferon treatment on HCC development in nonresponders is yet to be fully implemented. We conducted a metaβanalysis of 3 r
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to determine the characteristic features of sustained responders who develop hepatocellular carcinoma after treatment with interferon for chronic hepatitis C. ## METHODS This study included 3626 patients with chronic hepatitis C wh
## BACKGROUND. To determine whether interferon (IFN) therapy can reduce incidence of the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma equally in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) who responded differently to therapy, a retrospective analysis of 250 patients treated with IFN wa
