Why the study?
Hepatic angiosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy prone to misdiagnosis with controversial and disappointing treatment regimens, and randomized clinical trials are limited by its rarity.
Does Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab prior to liver transplantation improve pathological response in hepatic angiosarcoma?
Does Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab prior to liver transplantation improve pathological response in hepatic angiosarcoma?
Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab may offer a potential off-label treatment option for hepatic angiosarcoma prior to liver transplantation.
First report of atezolizumab-bevacizumab in hepatic angiosarcoma; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any clinical consideration.
Hepatic angiosarcoma is a rare yet aggressive malignancy, which is prone to misdiagnosis due to the lack of specific molecular and radiological characteristics. The treatment regimens remain controversial and disappointing. Randomized clinical trials are limited due to the rarity of this specific aggressive malignancy. Independent case reports or series can provide relevant references for treatment. We reported the very first hepatic angiosarcoma received Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab as a first-line treatment prior to liver transplantation, which resulted in a partial pathological response under specific molecular mutations. This case illustrates the potential role of immune checkpoint inhibitor combined with anti-angiogenic therapy as an off-label treatment option warranting further investigation.
