Article Synopsis
- Sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma (SHC) is a rare and aggressive form of liver cancer with a high chance of recurrence after surgical treatment, leading to a poorer prognosis compared to traditional hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- A 54-year-old patient with SHC had surgery followed by multiple treatments, including systemic therapies and immunotherapy, but faced recurrent and metastatic disease.
- After beginning treatment with nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, the patient's metastatic lesions significantly decreased, resulting in 8 months of continuous complete remission.
