Reduced risk of hepatocellular carcinoma by achieving a subcirrhotic liver stiffness through antiviral agents in hepatitis B virus‐related advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis

Background and Aim A subcirrhotic range of liver stiffness (sc‐LS), assessed by transient elastography, is associated with better outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We investigated whether the achievement of sc‐LS by antiviral therapy (AVT) reduced the risk of developing hepatocell...
