Long‐term assessment of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic hepatitis C after viral cure by direct‐acting antivirals

Background and Aim Early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence is common, even after achieving hepatitis C virus (HCV) cure. This study was carried out to assess the long‐term trends and predictors of recurrence after HCV cure by direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs). Methods This retrospective, multi...

description Background and Aim Early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence is common, even after achieving hepatitis C virus (HCV) cure. This study was carried out to assess the long‐term trends and predictors of recurrence after HCV cure by direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs). Methods This retrospective, multicenter cohort study enrolled 365 consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis C who required HCC treatment following sustained viral response (SVR) by DAA administration. Patients with HCC recurrence before SVR were excluded. Late HCC recurrence and its predictors beyond the post‐treatment early phase (24 weeks after SVR) were evaluated. Results The data of 326 patients were available for the final analysis. The median follow‐up duration from SVR determination was 2.7 years. Median age was 74, and 220 (67.5%) were 70 or over. The corresponding 5‐year cumulative HCC recurrence rates of previous curative and palliative treatment groups were 45.4% and 65.7%, respectively (log‐rank test: P  7 ng/mL at 12 weeks after DAA administration, time from HCC complete response (CR) to DAA initiation (
