Summary
Various cytotoxic agents have been evaluated in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, but response rates have been low with significant toxicity, most often due to parenchymal liver disease. The three agents etoposide, oxaliplatin and capecitabine each has sparse efficacy as single agents, but the combination may act synergistically with an acceptable toxicity profile.
