While immunotherapy paired with VEGF inhibitors are considered first-line options, they only provide modest efficacy. Dr. Luo describes the performance of the two-fusion gene + α-fetal protein logistic regression model. Dr. Luo explains the potential benefits of machine learning for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. While TACE is a common treatment for HCC, the procedure alone is associated with unsatisfactory survival benefits. Dr. Luo and colleagues identified a need for increased screening measures for patients with HCC. [68Ga]Ga-RYZ-GPC3 shows high specificity in detecting hepatocellular carcinoma, outperforming conventional imaging. Researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis to determine the association between HCC disease stage and prognosis. A review analyzed 30 meta-analyses to determine the association between pretreatment NLR and immunotherapy outcomes. Atezolizumab/bevacizumab and lenvatinib have both shown efficacy as first-line treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma. The latest guideline update includes recommendations for first-, second-, and third-line therapy options. Ablative therapy is an important treatment option for achieving a cancer-free state as HCC rates continue to rise. Researchers found that patients with diabetes and higher alpha-fetoprotein had decreased OS rates. In patients with HCC, a high CD8 and low TIM3 expression is linked to better OS than PD-1/PD-L1. Dr. Elizabeth Conner offers insight on how DCP can be utilized as a biomarker for treatment response in patients with HCC. A new report detailed the results of the LEAP-002 study following 12 months of additional follow-up. An analysis of demographic, clinical characteristics, and treatment patterns for HCC for defining early-stage disease. Dr. Julien Calderaro explains the potential of AI to serve as a biomarker of sensitivity to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. Drs. Llovet and Finn consider how LEAP-002 adds to the debate around IO/VEGF, IO/IO, and IO/TKI for aHCC. Drs. Llovet and Finn provide a high-level understanding of LEAP-002, looking at lenvatinib/pembrolizumab for 1L aHCC. The CRAFITY score is based on C-reactive protein and serum AFP in immunotherapy to predict prognosis in patients with HCC..
