[Diagnosis and treatment strategies of hepatitis C-related hepatocellular carcinoma in the era of direct-acting antiviral drugs].

The occult progression of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is one of the main causes of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, antiviral treatment of CHC has achieved great progress with the advent of direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAA), especially for special populations including advanced liver disease and HCC.
