Abstract

Background: Immunotherapy has emerged as an improved systemic treatment in selected patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Response rates are achieved in only about a third of patients and survival remains somehow limited, however, occasionally complete response is observed allowing liver resection. The current standard first-line therapy for advanced HCC is a combination of the immune checkpoint and VEGF inhibitors. Herein we report two patients who underwent liver resection after exhibiting good (1 patient) or complete (1 patient) response to this systemic therapy.
