Description
Teng-Yu Lee and co-authors test adding artery-directed therapy to immune therapy for liver cancer in a Taiwan cohort study from two thousand twenty-six. The cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, cannot be cut out in these patients. Whether local artery treatments boost first-line immune therapy was unclear.
From a national database, the team matched ninety patients who got both treatments with two hundred seventy who got immune therapy alone. Response rates were much higher with the added therapy, and responses lasted longer. Overall survival also improved, with five-year survival near twenty-nine percent against sixteen percent. Worse liver scores, larger tumor burden, and vein invasion each predicted shorter survival. Subgroup checks backed the main finding.
