In a sub-analysis of patients with portal vein invasion, OS was 6.5 months (95% CI = 4.5–8.4) in the sorafenib monotherapy group, versus 11.4 months (95% CI = 7.0–15.9) in the sorafenib + low-dose FP combination therapy group, with the difference approaching significance (HR = 0.493, 95% CI = 0.240–1.014, p = 0.050), suggesting that HAIC has an additional effect on OS in patients with major portal vein invasion.
