Abstract:With clinical application of efficient oral direct-acting antiviral agents in European and Ammerican countries, patients with chronic hepatitis C or liver cirrhosis may achieve high sustained virological response, and meanwhile our understanding of hepatitis C and its treatment has been changed fundamentally from the control of the virus to the cure of hepatitis C, from clinical care to prevention of hepatitis C by treatment, from response-guided therapy to all-oral, all-genotype and short-course treatment. Facing the new treatment situation, much attention needs to be given to current new prevention and control strategies for hepatitis C in China.
