The immunomodulatory activity of lenvatinib prompts the survival of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma
ConclusionOur results confirmed that lenvatinib is capable of improving patients ’ immune status, saving the effector cells from exhaustion status and inhibiting the number and function of immunosuppressive cells. The novel index CTL/Treg ratio qualifies as a predictor for the outcome of patients with lenvatinib therapy.
