The overall survival of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombosis of the main trunk or bilobar branches of the portal vein is extremely poor. Moreover, there is no standard treatment established for the condition. Herein, we present the case of a 65-year-old man who were treated the patient with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, radiation therapy for tumor thrombosis, portal vein stent placement, lenvatinib administration, and renal venous shunt embolization. A complete response was observed according to mRECIST and the patient has been alive for 14 months since treatment initiation with no tumor recurrence.
