NASH limits anti-tumour surveillance in immunotherapy-treated HCC

Dominik Pfister et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of NASH on immunotherapy response in HCC patients and found that NASH-HCC may be less responsive to immunotherapy. Aberrant T cell activation caused by NASH-related tissue damage led to impaired immune surveillance in HCC patients.

Atezolizumab in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: good things come to those who wait

Alessandro Rizzo et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that the combination therapy of PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab with bevacizumab has unprecedented treatment effects in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients who are not candidates for surgery, with clinical trial results demonstrating its superiority over sorafenib monotherapy, establishing a new standard of care for this patient population.

NASH limits anti-tumour surveillance in immunotherapy-treated HCC

Dominik Pfister et al.

Summary: The text discusses the impact of NASH on the development of HCC and the effect of immunotherapy, revealing the accumulation of exhausted and unconventionally activated CD8(+)PD1(+) T cells in NASH-affected livers. In preclinical models of NASH-induced HCC, anti-PD1 treatment led to an increase in HCC, with CD8(+) T cells contributing to this increase.
