A Prospective, Multicenter, Phase II Clinical Study on the Treatment of Unresectable Advanced HCC with DEB-TACE Combined with SALOX-HAIC

The aim of this study is to clarify the safety and efficacy of DEB-TACE combined with SALOX-HAIC in the treatment of unresectable advanced primary liver cancer. To determine whether this therapy can prolong the indicators such as PFS, TTP, OS, ORR, and DOR.
