Conditions

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Interventions

Study group:The treatment plan was determined according to the postoperative CTC counts
subjects with CTC counts =5/5mL were treated with oral lenvatinib (8mg/12mg qd) as adjuvant therapy for one year or end point, and those with CTC counts =5/5mL were followed up regularly.
Control group:The need for adjunctive oral lenvatinib (8mg/12mg qd) therapy for one year or end point, is determined by the clinician's clinical experience
