Lancet Study:

Direct-acting antivirals reduce risk of premature mortality and liver cancer for people with chronic hepatitis C

These findings firmly counter those of a Cochrane review of direct-acting antiviral treatment trials that could neither confirm nor reject if direct-acting antivirals had an effect on long-term HCV-related morbidity and mortality. They also provide the best evidence to date to support guidance documents that recommend direct-acting antiviral treatment for all patients with chronic HCV infection.

The Controversy
