2024 2030 2030 Upside
Growth driven by:
HCC to increase +122% in the US and +82% in China2 by 2030, caused by fatty liver disease
With improved 1L treatment, more patients will be fit enough for 2L, 50% → 70%
2030 Upside:
Average treatment duration increases to 10 months based on fostrox + Lenvima® study
Global 2L HCC market3
