23 Summary Hepatitis C Will Continue To Be A Significant Medical Problem In The United States For Years To Come Addition OF NS3 Protease Inhibitors To Interferon And Ribivirin Has Resulted In Significant Improvement In Hepatitis C Cure Rates (SVR) Albeit Some Genotype l Treatment Groups (Partial, Null Responders) Continue To Resist Cure Exciting, More Effective and Expensive Therapeutic Agents For Treatment Of Hepatitis C Will Soon Be Available; The Holy Grail Of Hepatitis C Treatment (No Interferon!) Looms On The Horizon
