Background: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); the value of its combination with systemic therapy is worthy of further exploration. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of TACE combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in the treatment of unresectable HCC. Methods: In this retrospective observational, single-center study, 147 patients with unresectable HCC were divided into a TACE group (n=98) and a non-TACE group (n=49) based on whether TACE was performed during TKI plus ICI therapy. The survival outcomes and adverse events (AEs) of the two groups were compared. Results: Data from patients with unresectable HCC who received TKI plus ICI treatment between July 2017 and April 2020 were collected. The median intrahepatic tumor size was 8.7 cm [interquartile range (IQR), 5.9-12.4 cm]. At data cut-off, overall survival (OS) of the TACE group was significantly longer than that of the non-TACE group (19.5 and 10.8 months, respectively, P=0.005). In the high-risk cohort (with main or contralateral portal vein tumor thrombi and/or bile duct invasion and/or a tumor burden >50% of liver), the OS of the TACE group was still longer than that of the non-TACE group (14.9 and 8.7 months, respectively, P=0.031). Major AEs were tolerated in both groups, and there was no significant difference in their incidence (34.7% and 30.6%, respectively, P=0.621). Conclusions: TACE treatment combined with TKI plus ICI regime resulted in longer OS than treatment with TKI plus ICI alone for patients with unresectable HCC.
