Efficacy and safety of combined locoregional therapy and sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma: Single center experience

Abstract

Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma represents a significant global health concern, with a substantial proportion of patients presenting at an unresectable stage. Locoregional therapies and systemic agents such as sorafenib have emerged as pivotal modalities in the management of Hepatocellular carcinoma. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining Locoregional therapies with sorafenib in patients diagnosed with Hepatocellular carcinoma. Materials and Methods: A cohort of 20 Hepatocellular carcinoma patients followed at Medipol Mega University Hospital between 2018 and 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent Locoregional therapies in conjunction with sorafenib treatment. Progression free survival and overall survival rates, adverse events, and prognostic factors were assessed. Results: Upon receiving combination therapy, an objective response rate of 90% and a disease control rate of 95% were observed. Median progression free survival was determined to be 11,1 months, while median overall survival was 18,6 months. Multivariate analysis revealed that Locoregional therapies type and transplantation status were independent prognostic indicators for progression free survival, whereas ECOG performance status was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Dermatological adverse events were the most frequently reported. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the concurrent administration of Locoregional therapies and sorafenib may offer a safe and effective therapeutic strategy for patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma. This combined approach has the potential to prolong progression free survival and overall survival. However, to definitively establish the clinical benefits of this regimen, larger scale, prospective trials are warranted.
