“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen” – Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Lenin could have hardly imagined that his words describing the Bolshevik revolution almost 100years ago could be applied to the breathtaking approvals in HCV therapies in the past few weeks. Yet, if one defines ‘revolution’ (from the Latin revolutio, “a turnaround”) as “a significant change that usually occurs in a short period of time”, there is little doubt that we are experiencing a revolutionary epoch in hepatology, and practitioners would be wise to mark this watershed in their collective memories.
