Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high mortality rate due to the diagnosis of patients at advanced stages and ineffective systemic therapies.

In this case report, we reported that transarterial radioembolization and immunotherapy such as atezolizumab and bevacizumab can be used together in a manner effectively in the management of HCC treatment.
