Abstract

Liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC has been one of the most challenging cancers to treat. Endless number of attempts to evaluate chemotherapeutic interventions, almost all fell short of any improvement of survival. This is despite a subtle improvement of survival using FOLFOX. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors were the critical driver of novel therapeutics for the treatment of advanced HCC. With the development of sorafenib and lenvatinib in first line treatment, two other tyrosine kinase inhibitors regorafenib and cabozantinib add to anti-VEGF ramucirumab demonstrated improved outcome in the second line setting.
