Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The authors read with great interest the report by Reig et al. describing unexpected early tumor recurrence in patients with hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing treatment with interferon (IFN)-free direct-acting antivirals (DAA). There is some debate as to whether DAA therapy increases the risk of liver cancer. The authors report herein a clinicopathological case series of patients who experienced HCC occurrence after DAA therapy, in order to shed some light on this emerging issue.
