Clinical Efficacy Exploration of Temperature-Sensitive Embolic Agent TACE Combined with HAIC and Targeted/Immunotherapy for Unresectable Primary Liver Cancer
The multimodal therapeutic regimen of TEM-TACE combined with HAIC and targeted/immunotherapy is safe and effective for unresectable primary liver cancer. In particular, compared with conventional embolic agents, temperature-sensitive embolic agents enable precise peripheral embolization and sustained drug release, thereby significantly reducing tumor volume and improving the rate of conversion to surgical resection. Moreover, this regimen provides a novel approach for the conversion therapy of unresectable ICC. It is suitable for patients with primary liver cancer who have a tumor diameter >10 cm, liver function of Child-Pugh class A/B, and no severe comorbidities. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are still required to verify its long-term efficacy.
