pubmed:abstractText |
Chronic hepatitis C was a frequent complication in patients treated for malignancy until the introduction of anti-HCV screening tests for blood donors. The association between chronic hepatitis C and progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma has been reported in about 20% and 5% of patients, respectively, within 20-30 years of infection. In adult patients, interferon has proved to be effective in decreasing the abnormal values of transaminases and the level of HCV viremia. Our purpose was to assess efficacy of and tolerance to interferon in a group of young patients who had acquired HCV infection during a period of chemotherapy.
