flag New Zealand begins funding a promising immune-activating treatment for advanced liver cancer.

flag From March 1, 2025, New Zealand will fund TECENTRIQ (atezolizumab) combined with bevacizumab for public patients with advanced liver cancer (HCC), potentially helping around 70 people annually. flag This treatment combats cancer by activating the immune system and cutting off tumor blood supply, showing a 34% reduction in death risk and improved survival rates. flag The move targets rising liver cancer mortality, especially affecting Māori and Pacific communities due to higher hepatitis B and C rates.
