- Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system in the clinic. In recent years, the proposal and development of immunotherapy have set off a worldwide anticancer upsurge. In particular, programmed death receptor 1(PD-1) and programmed death receptor ligand 1(PD-L1) inhibitor have been used in a wide variety of tumor diseases and achieved good curative effect. However, the application of PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors in HCC is mostly still at the stage of clinical trials, and some clinical trials have shown gratifying results in patients with advanced HCC and postoperative recurrence. More studies have shown that PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors combined with radiofrequency, chemoradiotherapy, and molecular targeted drugs can bring greater benefits to patients.
