Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients in clinical research approved by the Ethics Review Committee of the Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, who have given consent in opt-out form via an information disclosure document, who meet the following eligibility criteria, and who have secondary available archival samples (tumor/non-tumor tissue samples, blood samples). 1) Unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma 2) Receiving lenvatinib, sorafenib, or atezolizumab plus bevacizumab as first-line treatment (excluding hepatic arterial infusion or hepatic arterial chemoembolization)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who do not meet the inclusion criteria.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation between the efficacy of atezolizumab + bevacizumab combination therapy (response, early PD) and tumor microenvironment (PD-1 positive effector T cells, PD-1 positive regulatory T cells, CD36 positive regulatory T cells, angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis) and metabolic environment (concentration of fatty acids etc.) and pre- and post-treatment changes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation between the efficacy and etiology of liver (metabolic environment), correlation between atezolizumab + bevacizumab combination therapy and the signature of oncogene expression and pre- and post-treatment changes. Relation of the efficacy of the molecularly targeted agents lenvatinib and sorafenib to the tumor microenvironment and metabolic environment and pre- and post-treatment changes. Relation between the efficacy of the molecularly targeted agents lenvatinib and sorafenib before and after treatment and the signatures of oncogene expression in the etiology of liver and changes in the metabolic environment.
