Absence of HCC pathological features, R1/R2 resection range, or evidence of major vascular invasion during or before the operation as indicated by imaging examinations, surgical findings, and/or pathological results. 2. History of liver transplantation. 3. Type 1 diabetes or pancreatic diabetes, or documented acute pancreatitis before the first qualified prescription. 4.
