Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a global health concern because of its rising prevalence and high fatality rates. Conventional treatments for advanced HCC (aHCC) have limited success, emphasizing the need novel treatment options. Radiotherapy (RT) treatments, such as stereotactic body radiation proton therapy, improve local tumor management via precision targeting. Moreover, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) that target programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1)/PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated 4 (CTLA-4) pathways promise systemic antitumor effectiveness. The combination RT ICIs takes advantage their complementary mechanisms: kills immunogenic cells controls microenvironment to increase antigen presentation, whereas enhance maintain responses. This enhances regression response in aHCC, improving rate progression-free survival with manageable safety. present review aimed summarize rationale combining + patients aHCC clinical outcomes, well ways this technique. these models promising technique outcomes warrants further investigation.
