Better treatments for hepatitis B and C and a lack of such advances for fatty liver or alcoholic liver disease are driving outcomes.

Las Vegas resident Stella Armstrong cured her hep C and the joy-killing fatigue and pain that came with it.

The VA has cured HCV in nearly 100,000 veterans, which will dramatically reduce the development of advanced liver disease and liver cancer.

These drugs are approved to treat all six major genotypes of hepatitis C.

The three-drug regimen beat the virus in nearly all those who had not been cured of hep C by previous treatment.
