Adjuvant Immune CheckPoint InhibitoRs Based ThErapy in PostoperatiVe HEpatocellular CarciNoma: a ProspecTive Real-world Study
Though hepatectomy is the best treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the 5-years recurrence-free survival is lower than 30%. In recent years, several immune checkpoint inhibitors have been approved in advanced HCC. No study about the safety and efficacy of adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with HCC after hepatectomy was reported.
• Underwent curative hepatectomy;
• Diagnosis of HCC was confirmed by postoperative histopathology;
• Liver function Child-Pugh A or B;
• Performance status score 0 or 1
• With high risk factor of HCC recurrence, such as tumor size ≥ 5 cm, multinodular, macrovascular invasion or microvascular invasion; Receive immune checkpoint inhibitors based adjuvant therapy.
