Abstract:BackgroundUsing TKIs plus anti-PD-1 antibodies combined with TACE in the treatment of patients with initially unresectable multiple HCCs has a high tumour response rate, and using laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) combined with intraoperative RFA for radical treatment of multiple HCCs after successful downstaging treatment has not been reported.MethodsConsecutive patients with multiple HCCs (≤4 lesions) who were downstaged with TKIs plus anti-PD-1 antibodies combined with TACE were analysed.
