ESMO Expert Dialogue | From Chinese Innovation to Global Consensus — Landmark Interpretation of TALENTOP and New Horizons in Perioperative Therapy for Liver Cancer

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains one of the deadliest malignancies worldwide. Approximately 60–70% of patients are diagnosed at intermediate or advanced stages, making the pursuit of innovative therapeutic strategies that deliver meaningful survival benefit a long-standing global challenge. Against this backdrop, the TALENTOP study, led by Fan Jia, Academician and Principal Investigator from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, and presented orally at ESMO 2025 by Sun Huichuan, has drawn worldwide attention.
ESMO Global Perspective | Professor Arndt Vogel: From First-Line Advanced Disease to the Perioperative Setting—How Immunotherapy Combinations Are Redefining Hepatocellular Carcinoma Care

ESMO Global Perspective | Professor Arndt Vogel: From First-Line Advanced Disease to the Perioperative Setting—How Immunotherapy Combinations Are Redefining Hepatocellular Carcinoma Care

With the rapid evolution of immunotherapy–targeted therapy combinations, the management of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has entered a new era. Yet for patients with traditionally high-risk features—such as macrovascular invasion or extrahepatic spread—clinical outcomes have historically remained poor, posing a persistent therapeutic challenge.

[The Lancet] Professor Yungang Tao: Breaking Two Decades of Stagnation—The NIVOPOST-OP Trial Redefines Postoperative Adjuvant Therapy for High-Risk Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

For patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) at high postoperative risk, the standard of adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has remained unchanged since 2004—despite persistent rates of recurrence and metastasis. Recently, the NIVOPOST-OP trial, led by Yungang Tao of Gustave Roussy Cancer Center, was published in The Lancet, delivering the first definitive breakthrough in nearly 20 years.
