Conditions: Hepatocellular Carcinoma Non-resectable; Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus; Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Summary: this study is a single-arm, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sbrt combined with cardonilizumab and lenvastinib in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus
