Abstract

Immunotherapy represents an effective and promising option in various cancers, including in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown a remarkable breakthrough in the last decade, in addition to molecular targeted therapy of angiogenesis such as tyrosine kinases inhibitors. ICIs provide new regimen that can be applied in different stages of the disease. In parallel, HCC progression is related to the tumor microenvironment (TME), involving the cross-talk between various cellular and non-cellular components within the TME niche. It appears logical to synergistically target several HCC components to increase the efficacy of the treatment. In this paper, we summarize evidence that the combination therapy of ICIs and angiogenesis inhibitors would be a potentially better strategy for HCC treatment.
