Abstract
Liver cancer is the third most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with over 780,000 deaths in 2018. About 90% of liver cancer cases are hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a prototype of inflammation-driven cancer, leading to a robust rationale forthe exploration of immune therapy. Previously approved agents for first-line therapy, such as sorafenib, lenvatinib and bevacizumab combined with atezolizumab, have focused on angiogenesis. HIMALAYA was the first trial to demonstrate the benefit of dual immune checkpoint inhibitors, representing a new treatment option in this scenario.
