The immune response of hepatocellular carcinoma after locoregional and systemic therapies: The available combination option for immunotherapy
Biosci Trends. 2023 Nov 19. doi: 10.5582/bst.2023.01275. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with a highly heterogeneous immune environment that produces an immune response to various locoregional treatments (LRTs), which in turn affects the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Although LRTs still dominate HCC therapies, 50-60% of patients will ultimately be treated with systemic therapies and might receive those treatments for the rest of their life. TACE, SIRT, and thermal ablation can dramatically increase the immunosuppressive state of HCC, a condition that can be addressed by combinat...
