Exclusion criteria: 1). Patients with liver cancer who have previously received FOLFOX4 regimen; 2) Patients with liver tumor load greater than 50% of total liver volume, and central nervous system metastases; 3) Patients with ascites with clinical symptoms requiring puncture, continuous drainage, or who have received ascites drainage in the past 3 months, except those who only have a small amount of ascites shown by imaging without clinical symptoms; 4) Have clinical symptoms or diseases of the heart that are not well controlled, such as: (1) heart failure of grade 2 or above, unstable angina pectoris; (2) Myocardial infarction occurred within 1 year; (3) Clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment or intervention; 5) Abnormal coagulation function (INR>2.0, PT>16s), bleeding tendency or receiving thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy, allowing prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin, low molecular weight heparin, etc.; 6).
