We have described the radiographic features of a case of solitary giant hepatocellular carcinoma in a noncirrhotic liver. It was angiographically avascular and resembled a massive metastatic tumor. Most hepatocellular carcinomas appear highly vascular on angiography. Hypovascularity may sometimes be encountered in the presence of cirrhosis.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been the standard first-line treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the efficacy of this combination in post-line treatment is still unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of anti-PD-L1 envafolimab and novel humanized anti-VEGF suvemcitug as second-line treatment for patients with HCC.

Arsenic trioxide (ATO), the active ingredient in Chinese arsenic, effectively inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth, but its clinical application is limited by the lack of a targeted delivery system. Phosphatidylinositol proteoglycan 3 (GPC3) is specifically expressed in HCC, and CPP44 is a cell-penetrating peptide that targets HCC cells. Here, we developed a liposome incorporating ATO with dual surface modifications of anti-GPC3 antibody and CPP44.

Background: Nanotechnology has increasingly been applied in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over the past two decades. This study aims to explore the utilization of nanotechnology in HCC through a bibliometric analysis, identifying key themes, trends, and contributions in this field.
Methods: The study utilized VOSviewer and CiteSpace software to perform a bibliometric analysis, evaluating scholarly contributions related to nanotechnology in HCC.

Insufficient radio-frequency ablation (IRFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma accelerates the recurrence of residual tumor, leading to a poor prognosis. Neutrophils (NEs), as the initial leukocytes to infiltrate the IRFA-associated inflammatory area, were utilized as drug carriers due to their inherent chemotactic properties for targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs to the inflammatory site where residual tumor persists post-IRFA. Previous research has highlighted that the immunosuppressive cytokines in the tumor microenvironment could promote the transition of NEs into a protumorigenic phenotype.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of different systemic therapies, specifically PD(L)1 inhibitors plus Lenvatinib versus Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab, when combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) based on the FOLFOX regimen (oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin) as first line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
Patients And Methods: This real-world retrospective study enrolled 294 patients with unresectable HCC. All patients received HAIC in combination with either PD(L)1 inhibitors plus Lenvatinib (PLEN-HAIC) or Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab (AT-HAIC).
