The safety, clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and/or hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with targeted immunotherapy for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) require further in-depth study. This research aims to evaluate the safety, clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of TACE and/or HAIC combined with targeted immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
We are going to compare and analyze local tumor response, survival outcomes, prognostic factors and adverse events. Tumor response was evaluated according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) version. Adverse events were evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. This study intends to include the targeted and immunotherapy applied, mainly including: lenvatinib, sorafenib, apatinib, bevacizumab, etc.; pembrolizumab, carfilzomib, sintilimab and teprotumumab, etc.
