Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab has become one of the standard regimens for the first-line treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. However, some patients still use lenvatinib in combination with immunotherapy instead of a standard "atezolizumab-bevacizumab" regimen as a lower risk of bleeding in patients with esophagogastric varices.
