Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a highly lethal disease that is resistant to traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy. The last 30 years of chemotherapy clinical trials for advanced HCC have repeatedly failed to demonstrate any survival benefit for a long list of drugs. However a survival advantage was recently established for sorafenib, instituting a new standard of care for unresectable HCC. Here we review recent and ongoing studies of new therapeutic agents for HCC, including the small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and combinations of these drugs.
肝细胞癌(HCC)仍然是一种对传统细胞毒性化疗耐药的高致死性疾病。过去30年针对晚期HCC的化疗临床试验反复表明,众多药物均未能显示出任何生存获益。然而,最近索拉非尼确立了生存优势,为不可切除的HCC制定了新的治疗标准。在此,我们综述了近期及正在进行的针对HCC的新型治疗药物的研究,包括小分子酪氨酸激酶抑制剂、单克隆抗体以及这些药物的联合应用。
