Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Age between 18 and 80 years, regardless of gender; 2.1 Treatment-naïve patients who are unsuitable for surgical resection due to advanced age, insufficient residual liver volume, or personal refusal of surgery; 2.2 Recurrent patients who previously underwent curative surgical resection or local ablation; 2.3 Patients with recurrence after prior local treatment, in whom follow-up imaging suggested complete remission (tumor markers returned to normal range); 3. Diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) confirmed by histopathology or according to the 2024 Edition of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Primary Liver Cancer in China; 4. Presence of large or massive HCC (maximum tumor diameter >= 7 cm), with or without satellite nodules (total number of tumors = 3.0 × 10?/L, PLT >= 50 × 10?/L, Hb >= 70 g/L; (2) Renal function: Serum creatinine <= 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN); (3) Coagulation: Prothrombin time (PT) <= ULN + 3 seconds; (4) Liver function: Total bilirubin (BIL) <= 2.0 × ULN, ALT <= 5.0 × ULN, AST <= 5.0 × ULN. Notes: (1). Criteria for local curative treatment: At least two imaging studies (dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI or multiphasic contrast-enhanced CT) performed 3 months apart confirming complete response of the lesion, along with normalization of tumor markers. (2). For intermediate or advanced-stage patients, systemic treatment may be used according to the 2024 Edition of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Primary Liver Cancer in China. (3). Patients with extrahepatic metastases are excluded.

Presence of hepatic arteriovenous fistula or hepatic artery–portal vein fistula; 7.
