Summary: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Tislelizumab plus Lenvatinib as first-line treatment in patients with advanced HCC.

Detailed description: Recent studies have suggested that local destruction of tumor tissue by cryoablation induced activation and maturation of dendritic cells and tumor-specific T cells by cross-presentation of tumor antigens. While pd-1 blocking antibody interferes with PD-1 mediated T-cell regulatory signaling. And combination of pd-1 blocking antibody plus lenvatinib showed increased ORR in many types of human cancers. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Tislelizumab plus lenvatinib as first-line treatment in patients with advanced HCC.
