Systemic therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma on non-cirrhotic liver: a prospective spanish multicentre study (Poster Area) - Apr 2, 2024 - Abstract #EASLILC2024EASL_ILC_1063; In our series, patients with HCC on non-cirrhotic liver required more frequently ST due to tumour progression/recurrence after previous treatments than initial therapy for advanced disease. Survival was similar and safety profile was slightly better than clinical trials data, being severe AE uncommon reason for discontinuation.

Journal: SiRNA-HIF-1? delivered by attenuated Salmonella enhances the efficacy of Lenvatinib against hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 25, 2024 This treatment approach reduced cell proliferation and angiogenesis in HCC tissues while promoting tumor cell apoptosis. Additionally, this combined therapy significantly increased the infiltration of T lymphocytes and M1 macrophages within the tumor microenvironment, as well as elevated the proportion of immune cells in the spleen, thereby potentiating the host's immune response against the tumor.

Journal: A case of hepatocellular carcinoma with pseudoaneurysm formation upon lenvatinib administration. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 25, 2024 Lenvatinib demonstrated effectiveness in inhibiting angiogenesis in the tumor, as evidenced by a decrease in tumor blood flow. This case report suggests that pseudoaneurysm formation within the tumor occurs early after the administration of lenvatinib; thus, clinicians must be aware of the potential risk of pseudoaneurysm rupture.

Acute Interstitial Nephritis Secondary to Pembrolizumab () - Mar 23, 2024 - Abstract #NKFSCM2024NKF_SCM_559; IrAEs are increasing in frequency with more adoption of ICPis. Physicians should consider AIN in patients who develop acute kidney injury with current or recent use of ICPis, and medications that may predispose to AIN such as proton pump inhibitors should be held.

Journal: Impact of body mass index on the prognosis of unresectable HCC patients receiving first-line Lenvatinib or atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 22, 2024 Physicians should consider AIN in patients who develop acute kidney injury with current or recent use of ICPis, and medications that may predispose to AIN such as proton pump inhibitors should be held. Our analysis highlighted a prognostic role of BMI in a cohort of patients with advanced HCC who received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, while no prognostic role for low BMI was apparent in patients who received lenvatinib.

Journal: Targeting LEF1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition reverses lenvatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 18, 2024 Using a small-molecule specific inhibitor ICG001 and knocking down LEF1 showed that targeting LEF1 restored the sensitivity of LR HCC cells to lenvatinib. Our results uncover upregulation of LEF1 confers lenvatinib resistance by facilitating EMT, cell migration, and invasion of LR HCC cells, indicating that LEF1 is a novel therapeutic target for overcoming acquired lenvatinib resistance.

IMMUNOTHERAPY VERSUS LENVATINIB IN ADVANCED HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA: A MULTICENTER, NATIONWIDE PROPENSITY SCORE MATCHING ANALYSIS (Hall A, Poster Hall - Walter E. Washington Convention Center) - Mar 14, 2024 - Abstract #DDW2024DDW_7942; When stratified by HCC etiology, there was a survival advantage with immunotherapy in patients with viral hepatitis (HR 0.70, 95%CI 0.51-0.94, log-rank p=0.01) and MASLD/MASH (HR 0.60, 95%CI 0.39-0.93, log-rank p=0.02) but not in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (HR 0.76, 95%CI 0.47-1.20, p=0.27) or other etiology (HR 1.20, 95%CI 0.89-1.58, p=0.24). Conclusions Our study suggests that immunotherapy is associated with better survival compared to lenvatinib for patients with advanced HCC including patients with MASLD-related HCC.
