The Synergistic Mechanisms and Prospects of Transarterial Chemoembolization Combined with Immunotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a highly aggressive form of liver neoplasm that presents various therapeutic obstacles. Recently, the synergistic use of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in conjunction with immunotherapy has attracted considerable interest within the medical community. This review aims to explore the synergistic mechanisms between TACE and immunotherapy, analyze the current research evidence, and discuss their potential applications in the treatment of HCC. By examining how TACE can enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy, we seek to provide direction for future research and emphasize the importance of personalized treatment strategies in managing HCC.
