Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is working to research the efficacy and significant of the anti-virus therapy in the unresectable Hepatitis B virus (HBV) related primary liver cancer(PLC) so as to establish treatment standards of anti-virus therapy in PLC.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

primary liver cancer(PLC)is one of the world's most common malignancies, especially in East-Asian countries.Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is associated with 70-90% of PLC cases in China. PLC can develop during any stage of the natural course of chronic HBV infection and anti-virus therapy should be considered during the management of PLC. However, there is no definite guide on when or how to practice the anti-virus therapy, especially in unresectable or inoperable PLC. Because of these facts, research on the significant of the anti-virus therapy in the HBV-related PLC is urgently needed.

200 patients will be randomly assigned to anti-virus therapy group and control gruop.The time to progression(TTP) and overall survival within two years will be used to evaluate the effect of anti-virus therapy on PLC.

The aim of this study is to research the efficacy and significant of the anti-virus therapy in the unresectable HBV-related PLC so as to establish treatment standards of anti-virus therapy in PLC.
