A Review of Recent Advances in Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Review in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer and poses a major global health burden. It remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with persistently high incidence and mortality in regions affected by chronic viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, alcohol-related liver disease, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Although surgical resection, liver transplantation, locoregional therapies, molecular targeted agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved treatment options, outcomes for advanced HCC remain unsatisfactory. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is an adoptive cellular immunotherapy in which T lymphocytes are genetically engineered to recognize tumor-associated antigens and eliminate malignant cells. CAR-T-cell therapy has achieved major clinical success in hematologic malignancies, but its application in HCC is still developing because of tumor heterogeneity, antigen escape, limited T-cell trafficking, and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Recent studies have investigated several HCC-associated targets, including glypican-3 (GPC3), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), CD133, epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII), B7 homolog 3 (B7H3), mucin 1 (MUC1), natural killer group 2 member D ligand (NKG2DL), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)/c-Met, CD147, CD44, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM). This article provides a target-oriented synthesis of HCC-related CAR-T-cell therapy, summarizes registered clinical studies according to antigen target, CAR design, trial phase, administration route, and available outcomes, and discusses how CAR structural evolution may influence therapeutic development in HCC. This article aims to review recent advances in CAR-T-cell therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
