Management of CHC G1 patients who are relapsers or non-responders to Peg IFN and RBV therapy: Wait or Triple Therapy? Prof. Teerha Piratvisuth NKC Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Prince of Songkla University Thailand
Good SVR rates in Asia are likely due to the high prevalence of the favorable IL28B CC genotype Thomas DL, et al. Nature 2009; 461: 798 801
