Core Tip

Core Tip: The therapeutic strategy of combining multiple modes of drug delivery for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been shown to be more efficacious than single treatment modality, but the underlying mechanism of action has not been clarified. In this study, we observed the clinical efficacy of targeted therapy plus immunotherapy combined with FOLFOX hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy in the treatment of unresectable HCC, which provides a clinical basis for the clinical application of the combination of therapy in HCC.
