Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Participants must voluntarily enroll in this study and provide signed informed consent.
  • Male or female patients between the ages of 18 and 75 years old.
  • Patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) confirmed by histopathology or imaging.
  • Chinese liver cancer staging of IIa-IIb with hepatocellular carcinoma considered resectable by the investigator. For IIa-stage patients, they must meet at least one of the following criteria: unclear tumor margins, proximity to blood vessels, or suspicious residual margins.
  • At least one measurable lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) guidelines (measurable lesions with CT scan long diameter ≥ 10 mm or lymph node lesions with CT scan short diameter ≥ 15 mm, and no prior local treatment such as radiation or cryotherapy).
  • Child-Pugh liver function class A.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
  • No prior systemic treatment for HCC.
  • For HBsAg-positive patients, HBV-DNA \< 200,000 IU/ml (106 copies/ml), and receiving routine antiviral therapy.
  • Expected survival of at least 3 months.
  • Normal major organ function, meeting the following criteria:
  • Hematology criteria:
  • Hemoglobin (HB) ≥ 90 g/L;
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L (1500/m3);
  • Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 75 × 109/L.
  • Biochemistry criteria:
  • Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 2 × ULN;
  • ALT, ALP, and AST ≤ 5 × ULN;
  • Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50 ml/min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula: CrCL (mL/min) = \[(140 - age) × body weight (kg) × F\] / (SCr(mg/dL) × 72). Where F=1 for males and F=0.85 for females; SCr=serum creatinine).
  • Coagulation function: International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 2.3.
  • Blood pressure (BP) controlled with a maximum of 3 antihypertensive medications, defined as BP ≤ 150/90 mmHg at screening, and no changes in antihypertensive treatment within one week before Cycle 1/Day 1.
  • Doppler echocardiography: Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ lower limit of normal (50%).
  • Women of childbearing potential must use reliable contraceptive methods or undergo pregnancy testing (serum or urine) within 7 days before enrollment, with negative results, and agree to use appropriate contraceptive methods during the trial and for 8 weeks after the last dose of investigational drugs. For males, they must agree to use appropriate contraceptive methods during the trial and for 8 weeks after the last dose of investigational drugs or have undergone surgical sterilization.

Exclusion

  • Extrahepatic metastasis of primary liver cancer.
  • Diffuse liver cancer with tumor burden ≥ 50% of liver volume; and/or macrovascular invasion of the portal vein classified as Type IV; and/or inferior vena cava tumor thrombosis.
  • Prior treatment with targeted immunotherapy agents, including but not limited to anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (anti-CTLA-4) antibodies.
  • Contraindications for Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) treatment.
  • Participation in other investigational drug trials within the past 4 weeks.
  • Medical history and comorbidities:1)Active, known, or suspected autoimmune diseases, including a history of allogeneic organ transplantation, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, HIV positive history, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) history. 2)Severe cardiovascular diseases: Grade II or higher myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, poorly controlled arrhythmia; NYHA Class III-IV heart failure, or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50% based on echocardiography. 3)Active infections. 4)Known allergies to components of Tislelizumab or Lenvatinib. 5)History of substance abuse, alcoholism, or drug addiction.
  • Ineligibility as determined by the investigator.
