Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of different transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)-based regimens in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(uHCC)and explore the optimal timing for combining TACE with tyrosine kinase inhibit-ors(TKIs)and immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 555 patients with uHCC who underwent TACE-based treatment between April 2016 and December 2021 in Nanfang Hospital,Southern Medical University.The pa-tients were assigned into the following four groups according to different treatment regimens:TACE group(n=317),TACE combined with TKIs group(TACE+TKIs,n=66),TACE combined with ICIs group(TACE+ICIs,n=33),and TACE combined with TKIs+ICIs group(TACE+TKIs+ICIs,n=139).Subgroup analysis was performed within the TACE+TKIs+ICIs group,with patients being assigned into"pre-TACE"and"post-TACE"groups based on the timing of the combination therapy.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to identify pro-gnostic factors influencing overall survival(OS).Results:The TACE+TKIs+ICIs group showed the longest OS(21.9 months,95%confidence in-terval[CI]:17.2-26.6,P=0.030)and progression-free survival(PFS)(8.3 months,95%CI:7.3-9.3,P=0.004)compared to those in the other three groups.In the subgroup analysis,the"post-TACE"group had longer OS than the"pre-TACE"group(26.8 months vs.19.2 months,P = 0.011).The objective response rate(ORR)was 32.8%,41.1%,42.4%,and 52.5%(P=0.001)and the disease control rate(DCR)was 59.6%,71.2%,69.7%,and 82.7%(P<0.001)in the TACE,TACE+TKIs,TACE+ICIs,and TACE+TKIs+ICIs groups,respectively.The adverse events were similar to those reported in previous studies.Cox regression analysis revealed that tumor number,extrahepatic metastasis,and treatment regimen were independent factors influencing OS in patients(all P<0.05).Conclusions:TKIs or ICIs can improve OS and PFS in patients with uHCC receiving TACE,and the combination of TKIs+ICIs with TACE achieves better beneficial outcomes.The greatest OS was observed when the combination therapy TKIs+ICIs was initiated within 3 months after the first TACE procedure.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of continuous hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with the FOLFOX regimen and its multimodality therapeutic regimen in the treatment of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as the influencing factors for prognosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 66 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who received continuous HAIC with FOLFOX regimen in Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, from September 2018 to November 2021. The patients were observed in terms of objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median progression-free survival (mPFS), and median overall survival (mOS) after treatment, and treatment-related adverse reactions were recorded. For the patients with portal vein tumor thrombus, the effect of the treatment on portal vein tumor thrombus was assessed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and the Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for prognosis. Results According to the RECIST1.1 criteria, FOLFOX-HAIC and its multimodality therapeutic regimen achieved an ORR of 33.3% (22/66) and a DCR of 86.4% (57/66) in the treatment of 66 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, with an mPFS time of 8.2 months and an mOS time of 22.1 months. Among the 39 patients with portal vein tumor thrombus, 2 achieved complete remission, 8 achieved partial remission, 24 achieved stable disease, and 5 had disease progression, with an ORR of 25.6% (10/39) and a DCR of 87.2% (34/39). The main adverse reactions included gastrointestinal reactions (16.7%, 11/66), pyrexia (12.1%, 8/66), liver area pain (10.6%, 7/66), bone marrow suppression (3.0%, 2/66), and contrast agent allergy (3.0%, 2/66), and there were no grade > Ⅳ toxic or side effects or deaths caused by such complications. The Cox regression analysis showed that extrahepatic metastasis (hazard ratio [ HR ]=2.668, 95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 1.357-5.245, P < 0.05) and prothrombin time (PT) ( HR =1.282, 95% CI : 1.080-1.630, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors for PFS, and aspartate aminotransferase level ( HR =1.008, 95% CI : 1.002-1.013, P < 0.05) and PT ( HR =1.303, 95% CI : 1.046-1.630, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors for OS. Conclusion FOLFOX-HAIC and its multimodality therapeutic regimen has a certain clinical effect with controllable adverse reactions in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To compare the postoperative liver function injury condition in patients with intermediate-and advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) and hepatic artery chemoembolization (TACE) combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).Methods:Patients with intermediate-and advanced-stage HCC who were admitted and treated with HAIC/TACE+ICIs+TKIs therapy at Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University from January 2019 to November 2021, with follow-up up to July 2023, were retrospectively enrolled. The results of liver function tests within one week before interventional surgery and on the first day after surgery were recorded. The degree of postoperative liver injury was graded according to the common terminology criteria for adverse events 5.0 (CTCAE 5.0). The treatment efficacy was evaluated according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Measurement data were compared between groups using a t-test or a non-parametric rank sum test. Enumeration data were compared between the groups using the χ2 test or Fisher's exact probability method. The survival condition differences were analyzed by the log-rank method. Results:This study included 82 and 77 cases in the HAIC and TACE groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients in terms of gender, age, physical condition score, number of tumors, presence or absence of liver cirrhosis, Child-Pugh grade, albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade, and combined ICIs and TKIs . The HAIC group had later tumor staging, a greater tumor burden, poorer liver reserve function, and a larger proportion of patients in stage C (81.7% vs. 63.6%), χ2=6.573, P = 0.01). There were 53 cases (64.6% vs. 32.5%) with a maximum tumor diameter of ≥ 10cm, χ2=16.441, P < 0.001), and more patients had a retention rate of ≥ 10% for indocyanine green (ICG) at 15 minutes (68.3% vs. 51.9%, P = 0.035). The postoperative incidence rate of increased levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bilirubin was significantly lower in the HAIC group than that in the TACE group (28.0% vs. 63.6%, χ2=20.298, P < 0.001, 54.9% vs. 85.7%, χ2=17.917, P < 0.001;40.2% vs. 55.8%, χ2=3.873, P = 0.049). The number of patients with postoperative ALBI grade 3 was significantly lower in the HAIC group than that in the TACE group (6.1% vs. 16.9%, χ2=4.601, P = 0.032). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of postoperative hypoalbuminemia, activated partial thromboplastin time, or increased international standardized ratio between the two groups of patients. There was no statistically significant difference in median progression-free survival (7.3 months vs. 8.2 months, P = 0.296) or median overall survival (16.5 months vs. 21.9 months, P = 0.678) between the two groups of patients. Conclusion:The incidence rate of postoperative liver injury is higher in patients with intermediate-and advanced-stage HCC treated with TACE combined with ICIs and TKIs than in patients with HAIC combined with ICIs and TKIs.

Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Only two tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been approved as single agents for first-line treatment over the last decade. In 2020, atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab was appro-ved for first-line treatment of advanced HCC. As the first brand-new therapy to surpass sorafenib, atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab showed good safety and life quality in patients. The authors introduced the diagnosis and treatment of a China Liver Cancer Staging Ⅲb HCC patient receiving atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab, in order to provide references for patient management.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with apatinib as a second-line therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:Ninety-four cases with mid-and advanced-stage HCC who received camrelizumab combined with apatinib as second-line treatment were enrolled. Routine blood test, blood biochemical indexes, tumor stage, tumor imaging characteristics, previous treatment strategies and other clinical data before treatment were documented. Imaging examination follow-up results and adverse reactions during treatment were followed up until the end of follow-up or loss of follow-up or death. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the clinical efficacy.Results:As of the last follow-up, 94 cases with mid-and advanced-stage HCC had received camrelizumab combined with apatinib as second-line treatment. Among them, 15 cases were lost to follow-up, 31 cases died, and 48 cases survived. The overall remission rate was 31.9%. The overall disease control rate was 71.3%. The median time to disease-free progression was 6.6 months. The median time to disease progression was not yet available. The 1-year cumulative survival rate was 62.3%. Grade 3 and above adverse reactions mainly included were thrombocytopenia (7.4%), abdominal pain (4.3%), active hepatitis (4.3%), leukopenia (4.3%), diarrhea (3.2%), hand-foot syndrome (3.2%). All adverse reactions were effectively controlled.Conclusion:Camrelizumab combined with apatinib can effectively prolong the survival period of patients with mid-and advanced-stage HCC, and it is well tolerated.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of microwave ablation in the treatment of early small liver cancer (≤3 cm).Methods:103 cases with small liver cancer (tumor number < 3 and maximum tumor diameter < 3 cm) who underwent microwave ablation from November 2016 to November 2018 were retrospectively collected. The rate of residual lesions, recurrence rate one-year after the operation, and surgical complications were observed and grouped according to tumor size (< 2 cm and≥2 cm group) and tumor numbers (solitary and 2 ~ 3 lesion groups). The therapeutic effects of each group were compared and analyzed.Results:The tumor residual rate and one-year recurrence rate of small liver cancer after microwave ablation were 11.7% and 35.0%, respectively. The post-ablation syndrome incidence rate was 52.4%, with no serious adverse events. Compared with tumors < 2 cm, patients with≥2 cm had a higher postoperative residual rate ( χ2 = 7.651, P = 0.006), and the one-year recurrence rate of more solitary nodular tumors was lower ( χ2 = 10.125, P = 0.001). Conclusion:Microwave ablation is a safe and effective treatment for early small liver cancer, and it is more effective for small solitary nodules (< 2 cm).
