Core Tip This retrospective study of 38 patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma treated with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, lenvatinib and pembrolizumab showed promising results. The overall response rate was 50.0%-52.6% with a disease control rate of 97.4%. The conversion to surgery rate was 44.7%, with a pathological complete response rate of 7.9%. Treatment was well-tolerated, with only 10.5% experiencing grade III/IV adverse events. Patients achieving successful conversion had significantly better long-term survival.
