Systemic therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma has evolved from sorafenib to now include immune checkpoint blockade, either atezolizumab/bevacizumab or durvalumab/tremelimumab, and soon to include camrelizumab/rivoceranib and nivolumab/ipilimumab. Second-line therapy remains predominantly either a multikinase inhibitor or ramucirumab. Areas of development include testing immune checkpoint-based regimens in the adjuvant setting after surgery, ablation, or transarterial embolization.

Objective: To optimize the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for cancer patients, we characterized and evaluated ONJ related to TKIs and ICIs by analyzing a public database and reviewing the relevant literature. TKIs and ICIs are limited to drugs that treat renal cancer recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Kidney Cancer.

Methods: We described a case series of patients experiencing ONJ while on TKIs or ICIs.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive solid tumor associated with high mortality. Surgery is the main treatment consideration for early disease, but patients who present with locally advanced or metastatic HCC at diagnosis have limited treatment options. There has been great progress in locoregional, immunotherapy, and targeted treatments for advanced HCC.
