Core Tip |
Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer that displays unique features in behavior and clinical findings from conventional hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). No certain underlying trigger is detected in FLC. Alpha-fetoprotein levels are normal, unlike in traditional HCC. Surgery (resection/liver transplantation) is the current mainstay of treatment and remains the only curative option. FLCs have been less chemo-responsive than the conventional HCC. Controlled trials evaluating checkpoint inhibitors in FLC are lacking. In this review, we collect and summarize current evidence and clinical experience of conversion therapy, highlight remaining problems and challenges for further research. |
