Understanding the Place of Non-Invasive Testing in the Management of Chronic Hepatitis C

The advent of safe, well-tolerated, and highly efficacious direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy for chronic HCV infection has revolutionized care and makes elimination of hepatitis C conceivable. However, multiple efforts are still needed to achieve this ambitious goal set by WHO in 2016.

During this webinar, we will discuss the potential role of non-invasive tests and of FibroScan®, which when used in efficient case finding strategies, can help better test, diagnose and treat the remaining infected patients.
