Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy worldwide and is especially prevalent in the Chinese population. Treatment of advanced HCC has posed a considerable challenge to clinicians and highly effective therapies remain elusive. Angiogenesis contributes greatly to the pathogenesis, invasion and metastasis of HCC. Therefore, anti-angiogenesis therapy could be instrumental to the treatment of HCC. In recent years, several anti-angiogenesis drugs have generated significant outcomes in a few key clinical studies, and in this light, anti-angiogenesis therapy has become a critical aspect of comprehensive treatment of HCC. In this article, to provide a reference for clinicians, we review these advances and discuss the future direction of development.
肝细胞癌(HCC)是全球常见的恶性肿瘤,在中国人群中尤为普遍。晚期HCC的治疗给临床医生带来了巨大挑战,高效的治疗方法仍然难以捉摸。血管生成在HCC的发病机制、侵袭和转移中起很大作用。因此,抗血管生成治疗可能有助于HCC的治疗。近年来,几种抗血管生成药物在一些关键临床研究中取得了显著成果,鉴于此,抗血管生成治疗已成为HCC综合治疗的关键方面。在本文中,为临床医生提供参考,我们回顾这些进展并讨论未来的发展方向。
