Introduction

Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remains one of the most challenging malignancies worldwide due to its asymptomatic nature in early stages, limited treatment options, and poor prognosis in advanced stages. While traditional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies have provided limited success in advanced cases, immunotherapy has emerged as a beacon of hope for transforming the treatment landscape.

As we prepare for the 11th International Cancer, Oncology and Therapy Conference (11CANCERUCG2025), held from September 02–04, 2025 in Dubai, UAE, leading researchers, oncologists, and healthcare professionals will gather to explore cutting-edge developments in cancer care — with a major focus on revolutionizing treatment through AI and Genomics, including breakthroughs in immunotherapy.

Understanding Immunotherapy                   

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. Instead of directly attacking cancer cells like chemotherapy or radiation, immunotherapy empowers the body’s natural defenses to recognize and destroy cancer cells more effectively.

There are several types of immunotherapy being explored and used in liver cancer treatment:

  • Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs)
  • Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT)
  • Cancer Vaccines
  • Oncolytic Virus Therapy

Among these, immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1), have shown promising results in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

The Challenge of Treating Advanced Liver Cancer

Advanced liver cancer often develops resistance to systemic treatments, and patients are frequently diagnosed at late stages when curative surgery is no longer an option. Traditional chemotherapy has shown limited efficacy, and even targeted therapies like sorafenib have demonstrated only modest survival benefits.

Immunotherapy offers a paradigm shift — recruiting the body’s own immune system to identify and attack tumors, including those that have become resistant to other treatments.

Immunotherapy in Action: Clinical Advancements

Recent trials and studies have brought exciting progress in the treatment of advanced liver cancer:

  • The IMbrave150 study demonstrated that a combination of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) and bevacizumab (anti-VEGF) significantly improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared to sorafenib.
  • Checkpoint inhibitors like nivolumab and pembrolizumab have received accelerated approval from the FDA for certain patients with advanced HCC.
  • Personalized immunotherapy, utilizing genomic profiling, is on the rise, helping clinicians tailor treatment based on individual tumor biology.

Why It Matters

  • Durable Responses: Some patients have experienced long-term remission with immunotherapy — a rare achievement in advanced liver cancer cases.
  • Combination Potential: Immunotherapy can be combined with other treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies for synergistic effects.
  • Tolerable Side Effects: While not without risks, immunotherapy is often better tolerated than traditional chemotherapy.

Looking Forward: What’s Next?

The integration of AI and genomics with immunotherapy will be a key theme at the 11th International Cancer, Oncology and Therapy Conference. AI-driven tools can help analyze tumor data and predict immunotherapy response, while genomic insights pave the way for precision immuno-oncology.

Researchers are also exploring biomarkers to better predict which patients will benefit most from immunotherapy, further personalizing care and optimizing outcomes.

  Healing with Light: The Hidden Strength of Radiotherapy Presented at the 11th International Cancer, Oncology, and Therapy Conference — Dubai, UAE Radiotherapy, often referred to as one of the cornerstones of modern oncology, is a treatment that harnesses the power of high-energy radiation to control or destroy cancer cells. While it has long been a vital component of cancer therapy, recent advances have elevated it from a supporting role to a precision tool capable of targeting tumors with remarkable accuracy. As global experts gather at the 11th International Cancer, Oncology, and Therapy Conference in Dubai, UAE, the spotlight turns to a critical question: How can we continue to unlock the hidden strength of radiotherapy in the fight against cancer? A Legacy of Light: The Evolution of Radiotherapy Radiotherapy's journey began in the early 20th century, following the discovery of X-rays and radioactive elements. Its basic premise — using ionizing radiation to dam...
