Combination Therapy of Lenvatinib and Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy Using Cisplatin With Lipiodol and 5-Fluorouracil: A Potential Breakthrough Therapy for Unresectable Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The LEN-New FP combination for advanced HCC showed a high response rate and was more effective in high-risk patients with factors associated with poor overall survival than that reported with conventional New FP monotherapy. Additionally, LEN-New FP exhibited extremely high objective response and disease control rates and was well tolerated, including in cases where it was considered second- or third-line systemic chemotherapy for advanced HCC. Thus, LEN-New FP can serve as a breakthrough therapy for advanced HCC based on appropriate case selection.
