Postoperative adjuvant immunotherapy and molecular targeted therapy for patients of hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus after hepatectomy: a propensity score matching study. Front Surg 2024; 11:1387246. [PMID: 39170098 PMCID: PMC11335548 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2024.1387246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is a major risk factor of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. Whether postoperative adjuvant immunotherapy and molecular targeted therapy (I-O and MTT) is effective in reducing the risk of recurrence of HCC with minimal portal invasion after hepatectomy and improving prognosis is unknown. Methods We collected the data of HCC with Vp1 or Vp2 PVTT patients who underwent hepatectomy at our center between January 2019 and June 2022 from the hospital database. We utilized propensity score matching (PSM) to establish a 1:1 match between the postoperative group treated with I-O and MTT and the postoperative group without I-O and MTT. To compare the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) between the two groups, we employed the Kaplan-Meier method. Additionally, we conducted Cox regression analysis to identify the prognostic factors that influence patient prognosis. To account for different high-risk factors, subgroup analyses were carried out. Results Among the 189 patients included in the study, 42 patients received postoperative adjuvant I-O and MTT. After PSM, the 1, 2-years RFS were 59.2%, 21.3% respectively in the I-O and MTT group and 40.8%, 9.6% respectively in the non-I-O and MTT group. The median RFS was 13.2 months for the I-O and MTT group better than 7.0 months for the non-I-O and MTT group (P = 0.028). 1, 2-years OS were 89.8%, 65.8% respectively in the I-O and MTT group and 42.4%, 27.7% respectively in the non-I-O and MTT group. The median OS was 23.5 months for the I-O and MTT group better than 17.2 months for the non-I-O and MTT group (P = 0.027). Multivariate analysis showed that postoperative adjuvant I-O and MTT was a prognostic protective factor associated with OS and RFS. The most frequent AE observed in this study was pruritus, and rare AEs included decreased platelet, hypothyroidism, proteinuria, myocarditis and hypoadrenocorticism. The incidence of GRADE ≥3 AE with no deaths recorded. Conclusion The study suggested that postoperative adjuvant I-O and MTT strategy was beneficial to improve the prognosis of HCC patients with PVTT patients, while the therapy was safe and reliable.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a disease with a poor prognosis, often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Therapeutic options have developed considerably in recent years, particularly with trans-arterial treatments. Systemic treatments have also evolved significantly, with the rise of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) as first-line treatment for advanced HCC. The combination of loco-regional treatments and ICI is opening up new prospects and is the subject of numerous clinical trials. Recently, two global phase 3 trials investigating ICI-based adjuvant combinations have demonstrated improvements in recurrence-free survival or progression-free survival in patients treated with resection, ablation, or trans-arterial chemoembolization. However, mature data and overall survival results are still awaited but will be difficult to interpret. We are at the start of a new era of combinations of loco-regional treatments and immunotherapy. The identification of the best therapeutic strategies and predictive biomarkers is a crucial issue for future standards in clinical practice.

Abstract
This review examines the transformative role of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in managing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), spotlighting the progression from traditional EBRT techniques to advanced modalities like intensity-modulated radiotherapy (RT), stereotactic body RT (SBRT), and innovative particle therapy, including proton beam therapy and carbon ion RT. These advancements have significantly improved the precision and efficacy of RT, marking a paradigm shift in the multimodal management of HCC, particularly in addressing complex cases and enhancing local tumor control. The review underscores the synergistic potential of integrating RT with other treatments like transarterial chemoembolization, systemic therapies such as sorafenib, and emerging immunotherapies, illustrating enhanced survival and disease control outcomes. The efficacy of RT is addressed for challenging conditions, including advanced HCC with macrovascular invasion, and RT modalities, like SBRT, are compared against traditional treatments like radiofrequency ablation for early-stage HCC. Additionally, the review accentuates the encouraging outcomes of particle therapy in enhancing local control and survival rates, minimizing treatment-related toxicity, and advocating for continued research and clinical trials. In conclusion, the integration of RT into multimodal HCC treatment strategies, coupled with the emergence of particle therapy, is crucial for advancing oncologic management, emphasizing the need for relentless innovation and personalized treatment approaches.

Abstract
Oligometastasis is defined as the presence of several limited metastatic lesions and is generally limited to three or fewer than five metastatic lesions. Previously, the treatment of metastatic cancer aimed to alleviate symptoms rather than cure them; however, the use of immunotherapy or targeted therapy has greatly improved patient life expectancy. Additionally, the effectiveness and safety of local treatment have recently been proven for oligometastatic cancers and have significantly improved patient survival and decreased recurrence rates. A few metastatic studies on lung cancer have demonstrated the usefulness of combining radiation therapy and immunotherapy. Recently, local and targeted therapy combinations have shown promising results in treating non-small cell lung cancer, predominantly caused by the epidermal growth factor receptor and anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene mutations, suggesting the potential of these new treatment strategies. It is well known that oligometastasis has better clinical results than polymetastasis; however, research on the biological profile of oligometastasis is still lacking. Studies using circulating tumor DNA and circulating tumor cells are at the initial stages of providing a better understanding of oligometastatic cancers, and the biological characteristics of these cancers may be revealed based on more diverse studies. With the development of these treatments, the prognosis for patients with oligometastatic cancers is steadily improving, and if the biological profile is revealed, customized treatment may be provided.

Abstract
Background The optimal local treatment for HCC with tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm is not well established. This research evaluated the effectiveness of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) versus transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for HCC with tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm. Methods A total of 1210 HCC patients were enrolled in this study, including 302 and 908 patients that received EBRT and TACE, respectively. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to identify patient pairs with similar baseline characteristics. Overall survival (OS) was the primary study endpoint. Results We identified 428 patients using 1:1 PSM for survival comparison. Compared with the TACE group, the EBRT group had a significantly longer median OS (mOS) before (14.9 vs. 12.3 months, p = 0.0085) and after (16.8 vs. 11.4 months, p = 0.0026) matching. In the subgroup analysis, compared with the TACE group, the EBRT group had a significantly longer mOS for HCC with tumor diameters of 5-7 cm (34.1 vs. 14.3 months, p = 0.04) and 7-10 cm (34.4 vs. 10 months, p = 0.00065), whereas for HCC with tumor diameters ≥ 10 cm, no significant difference in mOS was observed (11.2 vs. 11.2 months, p = 0.83). In addition, the multivariable Cox analysis showed that Child-A, alkaline phosphatase < 125 U/L, and EBRT were independent prognostic indicators for longer survival. Conclusion EBRT is more effective than TACE as the primary local treatment for HCC with tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm, especially for HCC with tumor diameter of 5-10 cm.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to verify the therapeutic efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for previously untreated initial small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a multicenter, retrospective study. METHODS Patients who underwent SBRT for HCC at the Japanese Society of Clinical Oncology (JCOG) member hospitals in Japan between July 2013 and December 2017 and met the following eligibility criteria were included: (1) initial HCC; (2) ≤3 nodules, ≤5 cm in diameter; (3) Child-Pugh score of A or B; and (4) unsuitability for or refusal of standard treatment. We analyzed the overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and cumulative incidence of local recurrence rate, and adverse events directly related to SBRT. RESULTS Seventy-three patients with 79 lesions from 14 hospitals were analyzed. The median age was 77 years (range: 50-89 years), and the median tumor size was 23 mm (range: 6-50 mm). The median radiation dose was 40 Gy (range: 35-60 Gy) in five fractions (range: 4-8). The median follow-up period was 45 months (range: 0-103 months). The 3-year overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and cumulative incidence of local recurrence rates were 69.9% (95% CI: 58.7%-81%), 57.9% (95% CI: 45.2%-70.5%), and 20.0% (95% CI: 11.2%-30.5%), respectively. Four cases (5.5%) of adverse events of grade 3 or higher were reported: three cases of grade 3 and one case of grade 4 (duodenal ulcer). No grade 5 toxicities were observed. CONCLUSION SBRT is a promising treatment modality, particularly for small HCCs, as they are not suitable for standard treatment.

[PMID: 37444577 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15133467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Although recent studies have shown favorable results after local treatment for oligometastases, the clinical decision of applying local treatment for oligometastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the benefits of local treatment for HCC oligometastases. Pubmed, Embase, Medline, and the Cochrane library were searched for studies until 1 May 2022. Clinical studies involving at least five cases of HCC oligometsatases treated with local modalities were included. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The benefit of local treatment was assessed as the pooled odds ratio (OR) among comparative series, and the pooled OS percentile was calculated from all studies including patients treated with local treatment. Complications of grade ≥ 3 were assessed subjectively. A total of 10 studies involving 527 patients were included. Radiotherapy and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) were mainly performed (six and five studies) as local modalities treating oligometastases. Pooled OR of comparative series favored the use of local treatment (4.664, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.595-8.380, p < 0.001, I2: ~0.0%). Including all cohorts with patients who underwent local treatment, pooled rates of 1-year OS were 71.8% (95% CI: 59.0-81.9; I2 = 81.5%), and pooled 2-year OS were 43.3% (95% CI: 29.1-59.6; I2 = 85.4%). Except for temporal or pre-existing toxicities, grade ≤ 3 complications were reported less than 10% in most studies, although common toxicities include pneumothorax and hematologic deficiency after RFA and radiotherapy, respectively. Grade 5 toxicity has not yet been reported. This systematic review supports the application of local treatment for treating HCC oligometastases.

Liu C, Yi Q, Zhou X, Han X, Jiang R. Effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy for clinical outcomes of patients with liver metastasis and hepatocellular carcinoma: A retrospective study. Oncol Lett 2023; 26:305. [PMID: 37323818 PMCID: PMC10265345 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2023.13891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
This retrospective clinical study described the treatment efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for patients of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastasis tumors. The therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients with liver cancer treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (Shanghai, China) between July 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Overall survival (OS), local control (LC) rates and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test. Local progression was defined as tumor growth after SBRT on dynamic computed tomography follow-up. Treatment-related toxicities were assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4. A total of 36 patients with liver cancer were enrolled in the present study. The prescribed dosages (14 Gy in 3 fractions or 16 Gy in 3 fractions) were applied for SBRT treatments. The median follow-up time was 21.4 months. The median OS time was 20.4 [95% confidence interval (CI): 6.6-34.2] months, and the 2-year OS rates for the total population, HCC group and liver metastasis group were 47.5, 73.3 and 34.2%, respectively. The median PFS time was 17.3 (95% CI: 11.8-22.8) months and the 2-year PFS rates for the total population, HCC group and liver metastasis group were 36.3, 44.0 and 31.4%, respectively. The 2-year LC rates for the total population, HCC group and liver metastasis group were 83.4, 85.7 and 81.6%, respectively. The most common grade IV toxicity for the HCC group was liver function impairment (15.4%), followed by thrombocytopenia (7.7%). There were no grade III/IV radiation pneumonia or digestive discomfort. The present study aimed to explore a safe, effective and non-invasive treatment method for liver tumors. At the same time, the innovation of the present study is to find a safe and effective prescription dose of SBRT in the absence of consensus on guidelines.

Abstract
Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a formidable public health problem with limited curable treatment options. Axitinib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a potent and selective second-generation inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) 1, 2, and 3. This anti-angiogenic drug was found to have promising activity in various solid tumors, including advanced HCC. At present, however, there is no relevant review article that summarizes the exact roles of axitinib in advanced HCC. In this review, 24 eligible studies (seven studies in the ClinicalTrials, eight experimental studies, and nine clinical trials) were included for further evaluation. The included randomized or single-arm phase II trials indicated that axitinib could not prolong the overall survival compared to the placebo for the treatment of advanced HCC, but improvements in progression free survival and time to tumor progression were observed. Experimental studies showed that the biochemical effects of axitinib in HCC might be regulated by its associated genes and affected signaling cascades (e.g. VEGFR2/PAK1, CYP1A2, CaMKII/ERK, Akt/mTor, and miR-509-3p/PDGFRA). FDA approved sorafenib combined with nivolumab (an inhibitor of PD-1/PD-L1) as the first line regimen for the treatment of advanced HCC. Since both axitinib and sorafenib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors as well as the VEGFR inhibitors, axitinib combined with anti-PDL-1/PD-1 antibodies may also exhibit tremendous potential in anti-tumoral effects for advanced HCC. The present review highlights the current clinical applications and the molecular mechanisms of axitinib in advanced HCC. To move toward clinical applications by combining axitinib and other treatments in advanced HCC, more studies are still warranted in the near future.

Stereotactic Magnetic Resonance-Guided Adaptive and Non-Adaptive Radiotherapy on Combination MR-Linear Accelerators: Current Practice and Future Directions. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:2081. [PMID: 37046741 PMCID: PMC10093051 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15072081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an effective radiation therapy technique that has allowed for shorter treatment courses, as compared to conventionally dosed radiation therapy. As its name implies, SBRT relies on daily image guidance to ensure that each fraction targets a tumor, instead of healthy tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers improved soft-tissue visualization, allowing for better tumor and normal tissue delineation. MR-guided RT (MRgRT) has traditionally been defined by the use of offline MRI to aid in defining the RT volumes during the initial planning stages in order to ensure accurate tumor targeting while sparing critical normal tissues. However, the ViewRay MRIdian and Elekta Unity have improved upon and revolutionized the MRgRT by creating a combined MRI and linear accelerator (MRL), allowing MRgRT to incorporate online MRI in RT. MRL-based MR-guided SBRT (MRgSBRT) represents a novel solution to deliver higher doses to larger volumes of gross disease, regardless of the proximity of at-risk organs due to the (1) superior soft-tissue visualization for patient positioning, (2) real-time continuous intrafraction assessment of internal structures, and (3) daily online adaptive replanning. Stereotactic MR-guided adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) has enabled the safe delivery of ablative doses to tumors adjacent to radiosensitive tissues throughout the body. Although it is still a relatively new RT technique, SMART has demonstrated significant opportunities to improve disease control and reduce toxicity. In this review, we included the current clinical applications and the active prospective trials related to SMART. We highlighted the most impactful clinical studies at various tumor sites. In addition, we explored how MRL-based multiparametric MRI could potentially synergize with SMART to significantly change the current treatment paradigm and to improve personalized cancer care.
