PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a serious tumor type associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Yet, for more than 10 years, the multikinase inhibitor sorafenib was the only systemic therapy approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HCC. Since 2017, however, five additional agents have received FDA approval: lenvatinib as first-line HCC therapy, and regorafenib, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and cabozantinib as second-line HCC therapy. Given the recent expansion of HCC systemic therapy options, renewed educational endeavors are clearly needed.
