Background: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) clinically occurs in young people aged 20-30 years, who often have a normal liver background. We propose a treatment for such cases in which a combination therapy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab is followed by sandwiching radiation therapy to release tumor antigens and then re-administering the combination therapy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab (ABC conversion therapy).

Case: The patient is a 15-year-old girl.
