Surgical Conversion for Initially Unresectable Locally Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using a Triple Combination of Angiogenesis Inhibitors, Anti-PD-1 Antibodies, and Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy: A Retrospective Study
BackgroundRecent research has shown that selected patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are able to achieve conversion to resectable disease through systemic or local therapy. Combination regimens comprised of drugs with different mechanisms of action have shown better...

The median time to response was 50.5 (95% CI, 31.02–64.00) days and the surgical conversion rate was 60% (15/25).
