Abstract

Immunotherapy has changed the playing field for multiple cancers, and prime time for unresectable liver cancers may be here now. This issue of <i>NEJM Evidence</i> includes two trials describing novel immunotherapy options for patients with biliary tract cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Oh et al.<sup>1</sup> describe the results of the TOPAZ-1 trial, which resulted in improved overall survival for patients with biliary tract cancer in the frontline setting - the first real advance in more than a decade.<sup>2</sup> Abou-Alfa et al.<sup>3</sup> present results from the HIMALAYA study.
