Systemic therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma: reality and prospects

https://doi.org/10.16931/1995-5464.2020227-38

Abstract

This article discusses the results of clinical trials and the perspectives for perioperative systemic therapy for liver cancer, as well as the effectiveness of combination with locoregional methods. Special attention is paid to first and second line hepatocellular carcinoma therapy, as already approved in the Russian Federation (multikinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies to the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, checkpoint inhibitors), as well as ongoing clinical trials. Promising combinations of immunotherapy with multikinase and (or) angiogenic inhibitors, potential predictors of the effectiveness of immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as the features of therapy after orthotopic liver transplantation and against the background of non-compensated liver cirrhosis, are considered.
