Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in China and is also a major cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Recent advances in immunotherapy have identified new treatments in which immunotherapy can be combined with antiangiogenic therapy. We report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma with a tumor thrombus at the inferior vena cava-right atrium junction and multiple lung metastases after a multiple-course treatment. Treatment with sintilimab in combination with sorafenib led to a partial remission and immune-related hepatitis.
