Summary

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common global malignancy. In China, the disease burden is substantial: HCC ranks fifth in cancer incidence and third in mortality, with a 5-year relative survival of only 14.4%. In Northeast China's cold regions, metabolic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes are prevalent and may influence HCC prognosis. Recently, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-based combination regimens (with targeted therapy, chemotherapy, or locoregional treatment) have achieved major breakthroughs, significantly extending overall and progression-free survival. These regimens have become the first-line backbone for unresectable HCC. Investigating their real-world effectiveness and safety is critical for optimizing regional treatment strategies.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Immunotherapy: PD-1 inhibitors (e.g., pembrolizumab, nivolumab, camrelizumab, sintilimab) and other immune checkpoint inhibitors; PD-L1 inhibitors (e.g., atezolizumab, durvalumab, adebrelimab) and other immune checkpoint inhibitors. Targeted therapy: Lenvatinib, donafenib, sorafenib, apatinib, bevacizumab, and other targeted therapy agents. Chemotherapy: Oxaliplatin-based and other systemic chemotherapy regimens. Locoregional therapy: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), cryoablation, external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), and internal radiotherapy. Other regimens selected/recommended by investigators: Including but not limited to traditional Chinese medicine preparations and other antitumor therapies. Treatment options include immunotherapy alone, immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy, or immunotherapy combined with locoregional thera
