Clinical Trial Summary

Vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) is an invasive metastatic factor in HCC independent of the epithelial mesenchyme transition (EMT), and VETC-positive patients have a higher rate of postoperative recurrence. How to improve the prognosis of this group of patients is an urgent issue to be addressed.


Clinical Trial Description

Previous studies have identified VETC as a new metastatic pattern independent of EMT that may be associated with immunosuppression as well as poor prognosis. Multiple retrospective studies find higher rates of postoperative recurrence, distant metastasis in VETC-positive patients. How to improve surgical prognosis in VETC-positive patients needs to be explored. There are no published studies on how to improve prognosis for this population. One of our unpublished retrospective studies found that VETC-positive patients receiving PD-1 monoclonal antibody was not effective in improving prognosis. However, PD-1 monoclonal antibody in combination with PD-1 monoclonal antibody effectively reduced postoperative recurrence and improved prognosis in VETC-positive patients. Based on our previous retrospective data, this multicenter prospective cohort study was designed to further validate and explore effective therapeutics. ;
