Conditions

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Brief summary

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab-bevacizumab doublet combined with FOLFOX-HAIC and TACE as the perioperative adjuvant therapy in surgical resection to hepatocellular carcinoma with high-risk features. (1) Evaluate for some high-risk patients with resectable tumours, whether or not sintilimab-bevacizumab doublet combined with FOLFOX-HAIC and TACE reduces the risk of recurrence and improves the survival of patients. (2) Evaluate the safety of sintilimab-bevacizumab doublet combined with FOLFOX-HAIC and TACE for the neoadjuvant therapy of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
