Long-term outcomes of deceased donor liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein tumor thrombus: A multicenter study

Jiongjie Yu et al.

Summary: Deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) may be a viable treatment option for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with type 1 or 2 portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). Preoperative alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels should be considered in selecting PVTT patients for DDLT to achieve better treatment outcomes.

Transarterial chemoembolization combined with camrelizumab for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma

Yusheng Guo et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with camrelizumab in treating recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (R-HCC). The results showed that TACE-camrelizumab had similar efficacy to TACE-alone in terms of objective response rate, disease control rate, progression-free survival, and survival rates. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was significantly associated with progression-free survival. Adverse events related to camrelizumab were observed in a majority of patients, but none were severe.

Expansion of Liver Transplantation Criteria for Hepatocellular Carcinoma from Milan to UCSF in Australia and New Zealand and Justification for Metroticket 2.0

Savio G. Barreto et al.

Summary: Liver transplantation (LT) is an effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the selection of criteria for LT has evolved over time. This study analyzed data from the past 24 years in Australia and New Zealand to assess the impact of expanding criteria on patient survival. The results showed that overall survival following LT for HCC has improved over time, and patients meeting the expanded criteria have comparable survival rates to those meeting the previous criteria.

Perioperative nivolumab monotherapy versus nivolumab plus ipilimumab in resectable hepatocellular carcinoma: a randomised, open-label, phase 2 trial

Ahmed Omar Kaseb et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of perioperative immunotherapy in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The findings suggest that nivolumab alone or in combination with ipilimumab is safe and feasible in this patient population, supporting further studies of immunotherapy in the perioperative setting for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical activity of neoadjuvant cemiplimab in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The results showed that treatment with cemiplimab resulted in significant tumor necrosis and partial response in some patients. Adverse events were common but severe adverse events were rare. These findings contribute to further understanding the clinical benefit of preoperative PD-1 blockade in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma downstaging for liver transplantation in the era of systemic combined therapy with anti-VEGF/TKI and immunotherapy

Nguyen H. Tran et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a global health challenge, and liver transplantation is the best long-term treatment option. Locoregional methods for downstaging have limitations, while systemic treatments show potential for downstaging before transplantation. Assessment, endpoints, and clinical trial designs are critical considerations.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). The results showed that the combination of SIRT and nivolumab had a positive anti-tumor activity and an acceptable safety profile.

Ten-Year Outcomes of Liver Transplant and Downstaging for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Parissa Tabrizian et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the 10-year outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplant (LT), particularly those who were downstaged to meet the transplant criteria. The results showed that patients who successfully downstaged their disease had better overall survival rates, validating the effectiveness of downstaging and highlighting the importance of individualized decision-making when choosing surgical management for HCC recurrence after LT.

Summary: This study assessed liver transplantation outcomes for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients initially presenting beyond the expanded University of California San Francisco (B-eUCSF) criteria. The results showed that patients initially presenting beyond B-eUCSF criteria achieved comparable survival rates to those meeting the criteria (W-eUCSF) after transplantation.

International study on the outcome of locoregional therapy for liver transplant in hepatocellular carcinoma beyond Milan criteria

Helena Degroote et al.

Summary: Successful downstaging of more advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the UCSF-DS protocol to the conventional Milan criteria does not result in a higher recurrence rate after liver transplantation (LT) compared to patients remaining within Milan criteria. Additionally, in the UCSF-DS group, an ALP value equal to or below 20 ng/ml at listing might be a novel tool to further optimize selection of candidates for LT.

Summary: A study evaluating neoadjuvant cabozantinib and nivolumab in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showed that 80% of patients successfully underwent hepatic resection surgery, with 42% having major pathological responses. An in-depth biospecimen profiling indicated an orchestrated contribution of B cells to antitumor immunity in HCC, with effector T cells, tertiary lymphoid structures, CD138(+) plasma cells, and a distinct spatial arrangement of B cells being enriched in responders compared to nonresponders.

Comparison of Liver Transplantation and Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients with Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus Type I and Type II

Jia-Yu Lv et al.

Summary: Liver transplantation (LT) appeared to provide better prognosis for HCC patients with PVTT type I compared to liver resection (LR), especially in patients with AFP levels >200 ng/mL. There were no significant differences in prognosis between LT and LR for patients with PVTT type II. Risk factors for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) included treatment allocation (LR), tumor size (>5 cm), AFP and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels.
