Abstract
Immune-checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the management of hepatocellular carcinoma. Currently, anti-PD-(L)-1 antibodies combined with either bevacizumab or anti-CTLA4 antibodies are the standard of care for advanced-stage tumours. Now, two phase III studies (CheckMate 9DW and APOLLO) have reported positive survival results in the first-line setting, although with distinct implications for clinical practice.
