Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Conversion Therapy in Patients With Initially Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

A Single-center, Retrospective Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Conversion Therapy for Patients With Initially Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy in patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC).

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy in patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). Exon sequencing, 16SrRNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry were used to verify the protein expression, revealing the mechanism of tumor occurrence and development from the genome level, and providing reference for immunotherapy, targeted drug use and curative effect evaluation of tumors.

Inclusion Criteria:

• ≥ 18 years old, gender is not limited;
• Patients with radiographically or pathologically confirmed, unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma;
• At least one measurable lesion according to the mRECIST criteria as the target lesion;
• No prior immunotherapy, including but not limited to anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, and anti-PD-L1 antibodies;
• Patients with an ECOG score of 0-2 were included according to the activity status score scale developed by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) in the United States;
• Child-Pugh liver function is graded as A or B.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Have a history of immunodeficiency, or have other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases;
• Have other malignancies;

• Long-term heavy use of corticosteroids or other immunomodulators;
• Serious illness in combination with other systems;
• Received a live or attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose, or plans to receive a live or attenuated vaccine during the study, excluding the new crown vaccine;
• Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection;
• Have participated in other therapeutic clinical studies;
• Incomplete clinical data.
