Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs – Hepatocellular carcinoma
About the special issue
This issue will offer in depth analyses of new molecular targets and drug therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); it will provide a birdseye view of key innovations in this rapidly changing field. HCC comprises the majority of liver cancer cases. A significant percentage of HCCs present with potentially actionable mutations, but translation of this knowledge into the clinic is a work in progress. A handful of systemic therapies are available in the clinic while current clinical trials are examining combination therapies which comprise checkpoint inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or anti-VEGF approaches, or immunotherapy combinations. The outcomes of these trials could transform the therapeutic landscape and impact outcomes for patients. Be sure to keep up to date with Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs.
