    Lenvatinib is currently approved for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced liver cancer
    .


    We also know that PD-1 inhibitors are also used in patients with advanced liver cancer


    We included 56 patients with unresectable liver cancer who were treated with Lenvatinib from December 2018 to March 2021 in the Oncology Comprehensive Center of Nanjing University Drum Tower Hospital
    .


    There are 48 patients who can be analyzed and well documented, including 39 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 9 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC)


    During the follow-up period, 20 (43.
    75%) patients died
    .


    The mOS of the overall population is 22.


    Overall population OS and PFS

    The mOS and mPFS of HCC patients who received lenvatinib monotherapy were 22.
    43 months (95% CI not reached) and 11.
    60 months (95% CI 7.
    46-15.
    74), respectively
    .

    HCC monotherapy for OS and PFS

    The mOS and mPFS of the lenvatinib combined with PD-1 inhibitor treatment group of HCC patients were 21.
    77 months (95% CI, 3.
    68-39.
    86) and 7.
    10 months (95% CI, 2.
    8-11.
    4), respectively
    .

                    HCC combined treatment of OS and PFS

    However, the mOS of the lenvatinib combined with PD-1 inhibitor treatment group of ICC patients has not yet reached; and the mPFS is 8.
    63 months (95% CI, 0-17.
    67)
    .

                    ICC monotherapy for OS and PFS

    Twenty-one patients (43.
    8%) and 12 patients (25%) had elevated transaminase levels (grades 1-2 and 3-4, respectively)
    .


    There were 10 cases (20.


    A HCC patient receiving combination therapy achieved complete remission during the first review
    .


    In addition, 14 patients achieved partial remission (including 2 HCC patients receiving lenvatinib monotherapy, 4 and 8 ICC and HCC patients receiving combination therapy)


                Efficacy evaluation

    Among 39 HCC patients, 6 had negative baseline AFP data
    .


    We divided the remaining 33 patients into low (≤200 ng/mL) (n=18) and high (>200 ng/mL) (n=15) AFP level groups


                      Prognostic analysis of AFP stratification in HCC patients

    In addition, we found that in 9 patients with ICC, the OS between patients with high CA-199 (>150 ng/mL) (n=4) and patients with low CA-199 (≤150 ng/mL) (n=5) There is no significant difference (P=0.
    1401)
    .


    But there are significant differences in PFS statistical significance (P = 0.


    statistics

                   The prognostic analysis of CA199 stratified ICC patients

    In summary, studies have shown that Lenvatinib is effective in treating Chinese patients with advanced liver cancer and its toxicity is controllable
