Summary

This study tests a two-step approach for people with liver cancer that is too advanced for standard transplant criteria but still removable by surgery. First, patients receive chemoembolization (TACE) plus an immunotherapy drug (QL1706) to shrink the tumor before surgery. After surgery, they continue QL1706 alone to help prevent the cancer from coming back. The main goal is to see if at least 90% of the tumor is killed by the pre-surgery treatment. About 30 adults with BCLC stage A or B liver cancer will take part.
