Research Progress on TACE Combined with Targeted and Immunotherapy in the Comprehensive Treatment of Massive Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Massive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by large tumor volume, strong invasiveness, high propensity for vascular invasion and intrahepatic dissemination. Consequently, most patients lose the opportunity of radical surgical resection at initial diagnosis. Monotherapy with conventional transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is associated with low remission rate, high risk of recurrence and metastasis, and poor long-term survival. In recent years, the rapid development of targeted therapy and immunothe …
