Clinical efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma

Results of the IMbrave150 clinical study showed that atezolizumab plus bevacizumab have better overall survival and progression‐free survival than sorafenib in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. However, hepatocellular carcinoma patients with esophageal varices were not included in the IMbrave150 clinical study mainly considering the bleeding risk of patients undergoing treatment of bevacizumab. The authors introduce the atezolizumab plus bevacizumab treatment of an advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patient with moderate esophageal varices. By reducing the dose of bevacizumab, the patient achieved an excellent curative effect.
