Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the second-line treatment outcome of pembrolizumab on patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Subjects and research methods: The study was designed as an uncontrolled clinically interventional study on primary HCC patients taken pembrolizumab in second-line treatment at Hanoi Oncology Hospital (HOH) and Vietnam National Cancer Hospital from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022. Results: In a total of 35 patients participating in the study,17.1% of them had partial response, 42.9% had stable disease, 40% had progressive cancer and the disease control rate was 60%. Progression-free survival was 3.1 months. Conclusion: Using Pembrolizumab in second-line treatment for primary HCC patients is shown to be quite effective, providing survival benefits for patients.
