Filter by:Surgery is the main curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients, but 70%-80% of HCC patients are in the middle and advanced stages at the time of diagnosis and cannot be surgically resected. Local and systemic therapy are the main treatments for unresectable HCC. Two recent trials of HAIC combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody and targeted therapy reported objective response rates (ORR) as high as 43.3% to 77.1%.
Vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) is an invasive metastatic factor in HCC independent of the epithelial mesenchyme transition (EMT), and VETC positive patients have a higher rate of postoperative recurrence. However, it is not clear how the surgical prognosis of VETC-positive patients can be improved.
HCC is a huge healthcare burden in Hong Kong and is one of the top 5 cancers in terms of incidence and mortality in Hong Kong. Patients with advanced HCC are treated with immunotherapy-based combination atezolizumab plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment as a standard of care. At the moment, there is limited evidence to guide subsequent treatments after patients progressed on atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. Oligoprogression is a term used to describe patients who had limited progression (usually less than 3 sites) on systemic therapy, with the rest of the lesions controlled. Previous studies in non-HCCs have shown that addition of locoregional treatment (e.g. radiotherapy) may prolong the use of systemic therapy, resulting in improved survival, but this has been relatively unexplored for HCC. In this prospective, single-arm study, we aim to evaluate the treatment outcome, efficacy and safety of the addition of radiotherapy to oligoprogressive sites for patients who had limited progression on atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.
Primary liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and about 80%~90% of primary liver cancers are pathologically characterized as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Radical surgery is the main method for patients with HCC to obtain long-term survival. However, there is no consensus on surgical treatment for patients with BCLC-stage B or C HCC. New tools are urgently needed to guide the choice of treatment options.
This is a phase II, open-label, single-arm clinical study of nimotuzumab in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced liver cancer who have failed first-line therapy
Vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) is an invasive metastatic factor in HCC independent of the epithelial mesenchyme transition (EMT), and VETC-positive patients have a higher rate of postoperative recurrence. What can be done to improve the surgical prognosis of this group of patients needs to be continuously explored.
Vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) is an invasive metastatic factor in HCC independent of the epithelial mesenchyme transition (EMT), and VETC-positive patients have a higher rate of postoperative recurrence. How to improve the prognosis of this group of patients is an urgent issue to be addressed.
Primary liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and more than 90% of primary liver cancers are pathologically characterized as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The intermediate stage (BCLC-B) HCC is highly heterogeneous, and there is no consensus on the treatment of this stage of the tumor in Western and Eastern countries. New tools are urgently needed to guide the choice of treatment options for patients with this stage of the tumor in order to reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence and the overall survival rate.
Icaritin is a drug that has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) based on a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled Phase III clinical trial - SNG1705 ICR-1. It is used for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who are not suitable for or refuse standard treatment and have not previously received systemic therapy. According to numerous studies, in tumor cells, Icaritin can downregulate the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, PD-L1 and exert anti-tumor effects. At the same time, it regulates the tumor immune microenvironment by reducing the secretion of TNFa and IL-6 as well as inhibiting PD-L1 expression through decreasing MDSC cell proportion. Importantly, Icaritin has excellent safety profile and greatly ensure patients' quality of life clinically. Rare grade 3-4 TRAEs were observed in clinical trials which is uncommon among existing standard drugs. Good safety is a prerequisite for combination therapy; therefore, further exploration of optimal drug combinations is worth considering. Thus, TACE+Icaritin may potentially optimize treatment strategies for patients with poor liver function reserve.
