Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high mortality rate due to the diagnosis of patients at advanced stages and ineffective systemic therapies. Immunotherapy is considered a new treatment option for unresectable HCC alternatives to the limitations of conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy. In this case report, we reported that transarterial radioembolization and immunotherapy such as atezolizumab and bevacizumab can be used together in a manner effectively in the management of HCC treatment.
