Core Tip A significant proportion of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) present with advanced disease, for which there are limited systemic therapeutic options. Complicating this, HCC often develops on a background of cirrhosis, which can preclude the use of certain cytotoxic agents. Immunotherapy has previously not been an available therapeutic option in HCC. However, checkpoint inhibition therapy was recently licensed as a second line option for advanced disease. Multiple other promising agents are in development which boost existing immune response or stimulate a de novo immune response. These agents are discussed herein.
