Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy Is a Feasible Treatment Option for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A New Update

More Information
  • Background: Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is one option for treating massive tumors and unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is a lack of remedial treatment after these treatments are ineffective or failed.
    Summary: Some studies have discovered that HAIC has greater survival in patients with advanced HCC. A previous study has shown that HAIC is effective in the treatment of advanced HCC, and the data on randomized clinical trials are limited and unclear.
    Key Message:: More clinical trials and research are needed in order to make HAIC a standard and recommended therapy for advanced HCC. Our review focuses on the clinical applications of hepatic artery infusion treatment.
