Plain-language summary
Due to the biological characteristics and liver anatomical characteristics of liver cancer, liver cancer cells easily invade the vascular system, especially the portal venous system, forming portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) , and its incidence is reported to be 44.0% \~ 62.2%. Once PVTT occurs in patients with liver cancer, the disease develops rapidly, and intrahepatic and extrahepatic metastasis, portal hypertension, jaundice, and abdominal effusion can occur in a short time with an average survival time of 2.7 months. PVTT is one of the major adverse factors for the prognosis of liver cancer and occupies an important weight influence in the clinical staging system of liver cancer. In some hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with PVTT and selective resectability, surgery versus non-surgery can lead to better survival of patients.
A retrospective analysis showed that neoadjuvant radiotherapy can reduce the extent of invasion of PVTT and improve postoperative survival in some HCC patients. Another prospective study showed that neoadjuvant radiotherapy could significantly improve the overall survival of resectable liver cancer with PVTT, and neoadjuvant radiotherapy could improve the 2-year survival of patients from 9.4% to 27.4% 27.4%, with an effective response of 20.7%.
This study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm study to assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with tislelizumab combined with IMRT for resectable liver cancer with PVTT.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
