Real-world evidence for atezolizumab with bevacizumab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: a multicentre UK Midlands cohort.

Real-world performance was broadly comparable to trial results, confirming clinical utility in a European population with real-world comorbidities and performance status distribution.
