Clinical efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab for the treatment of advanced hepato-cellular carcinoma / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Results of the IMbrave150 clinical study showed that atezolizumab plus bevaci-zumab have better overall survival and progression-free survival than sorafenib in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. However, hepatocellular carcinoma patients with esophageal varices were not included in the IMbrave150 clinical study mainly considering the bleeding risk of patients undergoing treatment of bevacizumab. The authors introduce the atezolizumab plus bevaci-zumab treatment of an advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patient with moderate esophageal varices. By reducing the dose of bevacizumab, the patient achieved an excellent curative effect.
