Efficacy and safety associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: A re-analysis of a meta-analysis.

We identified analytic limitations in a recent meta-analysis and re-examined the efficacy and safety associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) compared with standard therapies. Our findings mostly contradict conclusions from the previous study, suggesting the need for continuing the investigation of ICIs in HCC with additional clinical evidence.
