How Do Antiviral Medications Affect Cancer Prognosis?
By controlling viral infections, antiviral medications can improve the overall health and prognosis of cancer patients. For example, effective management of Hepatitis C with antivirals can improve liver function and enhance the patient’s ability to tolerate cancer treatments. Similarly, controlling HIV with antiretroviral therapy can reduce the risk of opportunistic infections and improve the quality of life for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
