Objective: To observe the efficacy and side effects of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with sorafenib for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Forty patients with HCC were treated with sorafenib (400 mg bid) after TACE. The efficacy was evaluated according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, and side effects were assessed by NCI CTC 3.0 criteria.
Results: Among the forty cases, one case achieved complete remission (CR), seven cases achieved partial remission (PR), nineteen cases achieved stable disease (SD) and thirteen cases had progressive disease (PD). The disease control rate (DCR) was 67.5%. The overall survival time was 1 - 18 months, and 1-year survival rate was 54.0%. The major adverse events were hand-foot skin reaction, diarrhea and thrombocytopenia.
Conclusion: The combined therapy of TACE and sorafenib is effective and well tolerated for advanced HCC.

Efficacy and safety of atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab, arterial chemoembolization, and hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis.

Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital Chengdu University Chengdu 610000, Sichuan, China.
Objective: Although the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab (A+B) shows promise for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), its response rate is still inadequate. Previous studies indicate that the integration of FOLFOX-based hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is advantageous for the management of HCC. This meta-analysis aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the A+B+TACE or HAIC therapy protocol in patients with advanced HCC.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics, patterns of recurrence, survival outcomes, and implications for the addition of chemoradiotherapy for patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Materials And Methods: For the present retrospective study, we identified 38 and 10 patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic CCA. In perihilar CCA, adjuvant treatment was given as chemotherapy ( = 13) or chemoradiotherapy ( = 10).
The Prognostic Value of CRP/Alb Ratio in Predicting Overall Survival for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Transcatheter Intra-Arterial Therapy Combined with Molecular-Targeted Agents and PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of C-reactive protein to albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with transcatheter intra-arterial therapy combined with molecular targeted agents (MTAs) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors.
Methods: Medical records of 271 consecutive patients with HCC receiving this combination therapy in China between 2019 and 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses.

T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing provides a novel platform for insight into and characterization of intricate T-cell profiles, advancing the understanding of tumor immune heterogeneity. Recently, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with systemic therapy has become the recommended regimen for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The regulation of the immune microenvironment after TACE and its impact on tumor progression and recurrence has been a focus of research.

Background: Transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) is standard of care for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma that is amenable to embolisation; however, median progression-free survival is still approximately 7 months. We aimed to assess whether adding durvalumab, with or without bevacizumab, might improve progression-free survival.
Methods: In this multiregional, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study (EMERALD-1), adults aged 18 years or older with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma amenable to embolisation, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 at enrolment, and at least one measurable intrahepatic lesion per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) were enrolled at 157 medical sites including research centres and general and specialist hospitals in 18 countries.
