Stable Disease without Tumor Shrink Cannot Benefit from Surgery following Immune-Based Therapy in Potentially Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
DpR is an important factor in choosing the right candidates and the timing of conversion therapy. Patients only at a DpR <0% receiving various immune-based treatments who met the "potentially resectable" criteria can benefit from surgical resection. These findings can help increase the success rate of conversion therapy in patients with advanced HCC.
