The hepatocellular carcinoma modified Gustave Roussy Immune score (HCC-GRIm score) as a novel prognostic score for patients treated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab: A multicenter retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study investigated whether or not the hepatocellular carcinoma modified Gustave Roussy Immune Score (HCC-GRIm-Score) serves as a prognostic indicator for HCC patients treated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab (Atez/Bev).

Methods

A total of 405 HCC patients who received Atez/Bev from September 2020 to January 2022 at 22 different institutions were included in this retrospective study. The HCC-GRIm score was based on the combination of the albumin level (<3.5 g/L = 1 point), lactate dehydrogenase (≥245 U/L = 1 point), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (≥4.8 = 1 point), aspartate aminotransferase-to-alanine aminotransferase ratio (≥1.44 = 1 point), and total bilirubin level (≥1.3 mg/dl = 1 point). Patients were divided into the low-score group (0, 1, or 2 points) and the
