About this trial
Vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) is an invasive metastatic factor in HCC independent of the epithelial mesenchyme transition (EMT), and VETC-positive patients have a higher rate of postoperative recurrence. What can be done to improve the surgical prognosis of this group of patients needs to be continuously explored.

Treatments tested in this trial
HAIC plus PD-1 inhibitors plus lenvatinib
DrugPatients in the triple adjuvant therapy group received one cycle of HAIC about a month after liver resection, HAIC was adopted the FOFOLX6 program (Folinic acid+5-fluorouracil+Oxaliplatin). The first cycle of PD-1 monoclonal antibody was administrated 2-4 weeks postoperatively, 200 mg IV, every 21 days for a total of 9 cycles. Lenvatinib was initiated orally 2-4 weeks postoperatively for 6 months.
