Brief Summary

This study intends to prospectively enroll CNLC stage IIIb HCC cases with extrahepatic metastasis and intrahepatic lesions that are expected to be radical resected in several domestic clinical centers, and observe the OS and ORR, DCR, DOR, TTP and PFS of patients receiving hepatectomy combined with apatinib + carrelli pearl treatment.
