Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treatment strategies: Are transarterial approaches leading the way?

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with advanced stages posing significant treatment challenges. Although hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has emerged as a promising modality for treating advanced HCC, particularly in Asian clinical practice, its adoption in Western medicine remains limited due to a lack of large-scale randomized controlled trials. This editorial reviews and comments on the meta-analysis conducted by Zhou , which evaluates the efficacy and safety of HAIC and its combination strategies for advanced HCC.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer that has limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the first-line treatment for intermediate-stage HCC but can induce tumour hypoxia, thereby promoting angiogenesis. Recent studies suggested that combining TACE with anti-angiogenic therapies and immunotherapy might improve efficacy.

Doxorubicin + cisplatin and paclitaxel + carboplatin are standard chemotherapy regimens for endometrial cancer. The development of PD-1 and PDL-1 antibody drugs has led to the use of these agents for endometrial cancer in other countries. The KEYNOTE-775 trial for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer demonstrated the benefits of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib combination therapy, and the results of this trial led to the approval of its coverage for recurrent cancer by the Japanese health insurance system.

Immune-based combinations are the cornerstone of the first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients, leading to outstanding outcomes. Nevertheless, primary resistance and disease progression is a critical clinical challenge. To properly address this issue, it is pivotal to understand the mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, that tumor eventually develop under treatment.

Article Synopsis
- TACE is the standard treatment for patients with unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, and this study evaluates the effectiveness of adding lenvatinib and pembrolizumab to TACE compared to a placebo.
- The multicenter, randomised, double-blind phase 3 study (LEAP-012) involved participants from 137 sites across 33 countries who were randomly assigned to receive either TACE with the new drugs or TACE with a placebo.
- The primary endpoints were progression-free survival and overall survival, and the results reported are from the first interim analysis, which serves as the final analysis for progression-free survival.
