mFOLFOX7 Plus Camrelizumab and Apatinib for Advanced HCC

The combination of anti-angiogenesis and immune checkpoint blockade showed promising outcomes for advanced HCC. Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy （HAIC） combined with apatinib and camrelizumab could augment treatment efficacy in preliminary study. But HAIC had disadvantages such as technical limitations, expensive cost and poor patient comfort. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Venous Infusion Chemotherapy（VIC） plus camrelizumab and apatinib for CNLC stage Ⅲ HCC.
