Introduction
In the past 12 years, multiquinase inhibitors, sorafenib and lenvatinib, represented the main first-line systemic treatments of hepato- carcinoma not amenable to local or metastatic treatment. The results of the phase III study, IMbrave 150, which compared atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib, represented an important advance in the first-line treatment. We report a clinical case of a 78-year-old patient with metastatic hepatocarcinoma, who underwent first-line treatment with the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab. After 3 treatment cycles, there was a complete response in the lung and a partial response in the liver, opening the discussion about the possibility of considering at some point the local treatment of the liver in the face of tumor downstaging.
