ASCO GI 2025 | Dr. Xiufeng Liu’s In-Depth Analysis of CheckMate 9DW and CARES-310 Study Updates
The landscape of systemic therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has undergone a major transformation, shifting from single-agent targeted or immunotherapies to dual immune checkpoint inhibitors and immune-targeted combination regimens. The 2025 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI), held on January 23, 2025, highlighted two pivotal studies—CheckMate 9DW and CARES-310—focusing on dual immunotherapy strategies for previously untreated unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) and the impact of viral infection status on treatment outcomes.
