Deskripsi
We report the case of a 68-year-old male with alcohol-related cirrhosis, diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) noteligible for liver transplant. After immunotherapy with atezolizumab associated with bevacizumab, he underwent a successful living donor liver transplantation (LT), not showing disease evidence or graft injury, maintaining clinically and radiologically stable 14 months after surgery. This is a successful report of combined atezolizumab plus bevacizumab being used as a bridge to LT in a patient with HCC, showing an important finding in therapy in patients with unresectable tumors at diagnosis.
