Treatment options after sorafenib failure in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
Second line therapy after failure of sorafenib continues to be under study. Prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is measured in months, with median overall survival reaching 10.7 months with sorafenib. Because of the modest net benefit sorafenib has contributed, and rising incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in the world, continued efforts are ongoing to look for efficient upfront, second li...
متن کاملSorafenib, a systemic therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
