Nadine Abi-Jaoudeh, MD, associate professor, Department of Radiological Sciences, director, Research of Interventional Radiology in the Department of Radiological Sciences, University of California Irvine School of Medicine, discusses the potential for immunotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Immunotherapy, and the combination of immunotherapy with locoregional therapy, could be effective in the field of advanced HCC, says Abi-Jaoudeh.
