Abstract
Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents a formidable challenge in oncology, demanding innovative treatment approaches. Both adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies, thanks to the introduction of immunotherapy, have emerged as promising strategies in the management of HCC, aiming to reduce the risk of relapse and ultimately to improve survival.
Areas covered: This review considers current evidence, ongoing clinical trials, and future strategies to elucidate the evolving landscape of neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments in HCC.
Expert opinion: Both adjuvant and neoadjuvant regimens, notably those incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors, demonstrated encouraging safety profiles and efficacy outcomes in HCC.While significant challenges persist, including optimizing patient selection and endpoint definition, the evolving landscape of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy holds promise for maximizing the therapeutic potential of immunotherapy across all stages of HCC. Further insights into tumor biology and host immunity will shape the role of these approaches which are close to becoming reality in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
The enormous health and economic burden of gastrointestinal disease worldwide warrants a sharp focus on the etiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and development of new therapies. By the end of the last century we had seen enormous advances, both in technologies to visualize disease and in curative therapies in areas such as gastric ulcer, with the advent first of the H2-antagonists and then the proton pump inhibitors - clear examples of how advances in medicine can massively benefit the patient. Nevertheless, specialists face ongoing challenges from a wide array of diseases of diverse etiology.
