Brief summary: This is a Phase II , Open-label , Investigator-initiated Trail of SBRT in Combination With Adbelimumab and Apatinib in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma(HCC).This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SBRT in Combination With Adbelimumab and Apatinib as a preoperative and conversion treatment of HCC.

Detailed description: This is an Open, Two Arm, Exploratory and Phase II Clinical Trial of SBRT Combined With Adbelimumab (an Anti-PD-L1 Inhibitor) and Apatinib in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma(HCC) as Perioperative and Conversion Treatment. we conduct this study in order to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT Combined With Adbelimumab and Apatinib in treatment of patients with HCC. Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Perioperative cohort-Pathological complete response Rate (pCR); Conversion cohort-Objective Response(ORR) (According to RECIST Version 1.1).Secondary Efficacy Endpoints:Perioperative cohort-Major pathologic response (MPR) ,Event-free survival (EFS) and Overall survival (OS )；Conversion cohort-Radical (R0) resection rate,Disease control rate (DCR),Progression free survival(PFS) and Overall survival (OS ).Safety and tolerance will be evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of AEs.
