Abstract
Background: In fact, the majority of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases will progress or be intolerant to first-line systemic therapy. In addition, the standard second-line treatment of HCC or the sequence of systemic therapy after failure of second - line treatment have not been agreed upon. This study explore the progression - free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), adverse effects of treatment.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study on 12 patients with advanced HCC progressed after first - line systemic treatment at Hochiminh City Oncology hospital.
Results: The ORR for second - line treatment was 8.3%, and the disease control rate was 33.3%. Median progression - free survival with second - line therapy (mPFS2) was 3.0 months, and third - line treatment (mPFS3) was 2.1 months. Median overall survival (mOS) after first-line treatment failure was 7.1 months. Up to 80% of reported toxicity cases occurred with patients continued systemic therapy. However, the toxicity was mainly grade 1 - 2 and usually occurs in the later line of treatment.
Conclusion: The choice of systemic treatment in advanced HCC patients progressing after first - line systemic treatment should be fully evaluated based on previous first-line therapy, patient clinical characteristics, and prediction of possible toxicity to be able to make the right treatment decisions and bring the best result for HCC patients.
