Abstract

This report presents the case of a 53‑year‑old man who was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma and developed lung metastasis after undergoing surgery and interventional treatment. The lung metastasis progressed multiple times while the patient was undergoing successive treatments with Lenvatinib, Apatinib combined with Camrelizumab and Regorafenib. Eventually, a positive response was achieved with Tislelizumab combined with Xelox. The patient has been receiving Tislelizumab combined with Xelox for 23 months and has maintained a complete response to treatment. This case indicates that combining immune rechallenge with chemotherapy is beneficial for metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
