Subsequent procedures included embolization (TAE, TACE, or TARE), liver transplant, hepatic resection, ablation, and radiation (SBRT and EBRT). Subsequent systemic therapies included TKIs (cabozantinib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, and sorafenib), ICIs (atezolizumab, ipilimumab, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab), or angiogenesis inhibitors (bevacizumab and ramucirumab). NA, data are not presented in order to preserve patient identity due to low patient numbers (≤5).

a

A total of 22 patients underwent both ablation and resection at index and are included in the “Total patients” cohort only.

b

Patients may have received more than one procedure or therapy.

EBRT: External beam radiation therapy; ICI: Immune checkpoint inhibitor; NA: Not available; SBRT: Stereotactic body radiation therapy; TAE: Transarterial embolization; TACE: Transarterial chemoembolization; TARE: Transarterial radioembolization; TKI: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
