About This Topic
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major etiologies of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. With the great innovation of directly acting antivirals, most patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) could be cured. However, there are several unmet needs to be solved. For example, the gap of HCV diagnosis and accessibility to medical care, difficult-to-cure populations including patients with liver decompensation, treatment-emergent variants and retreatment options, and long-term hepatic and extrahepatic outcomes in the post sustained virologic response (SVR) era. This special section seeks submissions for including but not restricted to abovementioned hot issues. The submissions can be in the form of review articles, opinions or original research. We would like to invite you to submit your work for consideration of publication in this special issue.
