Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Locoregional therapies (LRTs) play a crucial role in HCC management and are selectively adopted in real-world practice across various stages. Choosing the best form of LRTs depends on technical aspects, patient clinical status and tumour characteristics. Previous studies have consistently highlighted the efficacy of combining LRTs with molecular targeted agents in HCC treatment. Recent studies propose that integrating LRTs with immune checkpoint inhibitors and molecular targeted agents could provide substantial therapeutic benefits, a notion underpinned by both basic and clinical evidence. This review summarised the current landscape of LRTs in HCC and discussed the anticipated outcomes of combinations with immunotherapy regimens.
肝细胞癌(HCC)是最常见的癌症之一,也是癌症相关死亡的主要原因。局部区域治疗(LRTs)在 HCC 管理中起着至关重要的作用,并在各个阶段的实际治疗中选择性采用。选择最佳形式的 LRT 取决于技术方面、患者临床状况和肿瘤特征。先前的研究一致强调了在 HCC 治疗中联合使用 LRT 和分子靶向药物的疗效。最近的研究提出,将 LRT 与免疫检查点抑制剂和分子靶向药物相结合可能会带来实质性的治疗益处,这一观点既有基础研究证据,也有临床证据支持。这篇综述总结了 HCC 中 LRT 的现状,并讨论了与免疫治疗方案联合的预期结果。
