- The addition of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) to sorafenib (SOR) did not significantly improve overall survival compared to SOR alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma based on two randomized controlled trials.
- Subgroup analyses found potential clinical benefits for younger patients, those with non-alcoholic disease etiology, and those without cirrhosis.
- Regorafenib, a multi-kinase inhibitor, significantly improved progression-free survival, overall survival, and disease control compared to placebo in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma progressing on sorafenib.
- Lenvatinib, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor, demonstrated non-inferior
