It addresses why systemic therapy alone often yields limited intrahepatic control and outlines how HAIC can enhance local tumor management while retaining systemic antitumor effects.

Nonetheless, its efﬁcacy in achieving control of intrahepatic lesions is constrained. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is a therapeutic approach that combines localized treatment with systemic antitumor effects, which aim is to effectively manage the progression of cancerous lesions within the liver, particularly in patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) . Combining HAIC with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) immunotherapy is anticipated to emerge as a novel therapeutic approach aimed at augmenting the response inside the localized tumor site and achieving prolonged survival advantages. In order to assess the effectiveness, safety, and applicability of various therapeutic modalities and to address potential molecular mechanisms underlying the efﬁcacy of HAIC-sensitizing immunotherapy, we reviewed the literature about the combination of HAIC with anti-PD-1 mAb therapies.  \nKEYWORDS  \nHAIC, anti-PD-1, immunotherapy, HCC, combined therapy  \nFrontiers in Immunology 01 [frontiersin.org](frontiersin.org)  \n1 Introduction  \nPrimary liver cancer is a signiﬁcant cause of death globally, occupying the third position among cancer-related mortalities.
