Another treatment option for locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: Interventional arterial infusion of FOLFOX chemotherapy from the FOHAIC-1 study

Advanced stage primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for more than half of all cases worldwide. Poor prognosis is mainly attributed to intrahepatic tumor burden caused by high-risk factors, including Vp4-portal vein tumor thrombosis or tumor occupancy of >50% of the liver. In 2020, the...

description Advanced stage primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for more than half of all cases worldwide. Poor prognosis is mainly attributed to intrahepatic tumor burden caused by high-risk factors, including Vp4-portal vein tumor thrombosis or tumor occupancy of >50% of the liver. In 2020, the combination of a VEGF/PD-L1 blocker was superior to a single tyrosine kinase inhibitor and associated with a median overall survival of 19.2 months. However, overall survival dramatically declined from 19.2 months to 7.6 months for patients with high-risk factors. In this present study, the FOHAIC-1 trial, interventional hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy of FOLFOX (HAIC-FO) showed favorable survival outcomes in patients with high-risk advanced HCC. Compared with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in the high-risk subgroup, HAIC-FO achieved an overall survival of 10.8 months (vs. 5.7 months, hazard ratio 0.343, 95% confidence interval, 0.219–0.538). This study also observed disease downstaging in 16 (16/130) patients who received HAIC-FO; 15 (93.8%) patients received curative or regional treatments afterward. Therefore, for advanced HCC with localized high-risk factors, the clinical efficacy of HAIC-FO is significant and may be a better option than systemic therapies.
