Pembrolizumab for Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma Following Live Donor Liver Transplantation: The Silver Bullet?

SUMMARY

Therapeutic options for extrahepatic metastases following Liver Transplantation(LT) for Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) are limited, and the prognosis remains poor. Innovative blockade of immune checkpoints, such as monoclonal antibodies against programmed death receptor 1 have shown promise in the treatment of solid organ malignancies. Here, we report a case of metastatic HCC after LT, where Pembrolizumab was started following a poor response with Sorafenib. There was a complete radiological response to the drug with no liver graft rejection or dysfunction. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
