Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer and has a high mortality rate, especially in advanced stages. Treatment of advanced HCC remains a significant challenge due to limited effective therapeutic options. This study examines the effectiveness of combining Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and Lenvatinib in advanced HCC patients. SBRT is a high-precision radiation technique that allows high-dose irradiation of tumor targets with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues. At the same time, Lenvatinib is a multikinase inhibitor that inhibits several critical molecular pathways in angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation. The results showed that the combination of SBRT and Lenvatinib significantly improved overall survival (OS) by reducing the risk of death by 63%, progression-free survival (PFS) reduced the risk of tumor progression by 67%, intrahepatic tumor progression-free survival (IHPFS) showed a decrease of 71%, objective remission rate (ORR) was also higher in the combination group (56.8%), and disease control rate (DCR) of 91.9% which was higher than the use of Lenvatinib alone. However, this combination therapy also carries a higher risk of side effects, including hypertension and diarrhea, which require close monitoring and dose adjustment. This study suggests combining SBRT and Lenvatinib may be a more practical approach to treating advanced HCC. However, the treatment strategy needs to be tailored to the patient's condition to minimize the risk of toxicity.

Abstract

More than 90% of individuals infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) exhibit skin abnormalities that can serve as important clues for early diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and assessing the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, the diverse presentation of skin problems often complicates clinical management. Methods: This article is based on a literature review of various international and national publications on skin manifestations in HIV patients, as well as dermatological management guidelines. The analysis focused on the types of skin infections, non-infectious conditions, side effects of ART, and recommended treatment strategies. Results: The literature review revealed that skin problems in HIV patients include fungal infections (such as candidiasis, dermatophytosis), bacterial (CA-MRSA, syphilis), viral (HSV, VZV, HPV, molluscum contagiosum), and non-infectious conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and severe drug reactions. These skin conditions are influenced by a weakened immune system, treatment side effects, and socioeconomic factors. Treatment requires a combination of ART therapy, dermatological care tailored to the type of skin problem, and psychosocial support. Conclusion: Skin manifestations in HIV patients reflect their immune system and quality of life. Comprehensive treatment, including ART, dermatological therapy, and a psychosocial approach, has been shown to be effective in reducing morbidity and stigma. The results of this study underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to improve treatment outcomes for HIV patients with skin problems in Indonesia.
