Therapies for HCC with robust clinical evidence include transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and first to second line systemic treatment options (sorafenib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, cabozantinib and ramucirumab). Immunotherapy with nivolumab and pembrolizumab has failed to show statistical benefit but the novel combination of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab has recently shown survival benefit over sorafenib in frontline.

Additional studies are currently underway using other tyrosin kinase inhibitors - regorafenib, lenvatinib and cabozantinib - in combination with nivolumab, ipilimumab and pembrolizumab. This development of treatment at all stages evoked with renewed urgency the need to find a suitable way to search for the early stages of HCC and to create a more effective system for selecting patients for the most appropriate treatment.

Review, Journal, Checkpoint inhibition: Hepatic Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in the Era of Molecular-targeted Agents and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Japan. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 21, 2021 Furthermore, a significantly longer survival with atezolizumab, which is an immune checkpoint inhibitor, plus bevacizumab was observed compared with sorafenib for unresectable HCC patients. Herein, we review the current status of hepatic resection and liver transplantation for HCC in Japan and discuss the role of hepatic resection in the era of molecular-targeted agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors, as well as the need for a definition of borderline resectable-HCC.

Review, Journal: PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway-related long non-coding RNAs: roles and mechanisms in hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 15, 2021 Many studies have indicated that the 67 dysregulated lncRNAs show oncogenic or anti-oncogenic effects in HCC by regulation on epigenetic, transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and they play pivotal roles in the initiation of HCC in diverse biological processes like proliferation, metastasis, drug resistance, radio-resistance, energy metabolism, autophagy and so on. Besides, many of these lncRNAs are associated with clinicopathological features and clinical prognosis in HCC, which may provide a potential future application in the diagnosis and therapy of HCC.
