| Core Tip |
We present two cases of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the main portal vein and a high tumor burden accompanied by a tumor diameter > 100 mm. Despite the aforementioned poor prognostic factors, due to the well-preserved liver function, we elected to treat both patients with lenvatinib in the hope of obtaining tumor shrinkage, based on the REFLECT trial. Lenvatinib was demonstrated to be safe, and good therapeutic responses were obtained. Thus, even in the presence of poor prognostic factors, if the liver function is well-preserved, lenvatinib can be effective and safe in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. |
