Deskripsi
The results of the IMbrave150 study have led to widespread use of the combination therapy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab as a first-line treatment for unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Compared to traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy agents, immune checkpoint inhibitors show a spectrum of side effects ranging from mild side effects such as skin rash to potentially severe systemic effects such as myocarditis. We present a case of transverse myelitis diagnosed during the treatment of HCC with atezolizumab and bevacizumab combination therapy.
