Liver transplantation for liver cancer in the era of immunotherapy / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Most patients with liver cancer in China cannot get radical surgical treatment at the time of diagnosis, and the breakthrough of immunotherapy for liver cancer in recent years has brought new hope to the patients with advanced liver cancer. In the field of liver transplantation for liver cancer, immunotherapy has attracted much attention because of its dual role in tumor immunity and transplantation immunity. There are also innovative applications of immunotherapy in preoperative down-staging treatment and the treatment of tumor recurrence after transplantation. In the era of immunotherapy, how to apply the thinking of transplant oncology to benefit liver cancer patients undergoing liver transplantation is a brand-new topic, and this requires multidisciplinary collaboration in clinical practice to explore the best treatment strategies for liver cancer patients undergoing liver transplantation and finally improve the prognosis of patients with advanced liver cancer.
