Summary

HCC is an aggressive, largely chemo-resistant cancer with a poor prognosis, currently there is no effective systemic chemotherapy for HCC. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are both overexpressed in HCC and thought to contribute to tumor development. Oxaliplatin in combination with other chemotherapies or biologic agents have been shown to be an effective and safe treatment in advanced HCC patients.

Sorafenib, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor, blocks tumor cell proliferation by targeting multiple growth factor pathways and also exerts an anti-angiogenic effect. Clinically, single agent Sorafenib has been shown to have some efficacy in patients with advanced HCC and the primary result of prolonged overall survival seems to have been achieved in the phase III trial.
