"inclusion_criteria": "* Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent form (ICF) and any locally required authorization obtained from the patient prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, and analyses.\n* Provision of signed and dated written genetic informed consent prior to optional collection of sample for genetic analysis.\n* Patients with BCLC stage C hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by pathology or clinically diagnosed\n* Anticipated life expectancy ≥ 12 months\n* Eligible for TACE treatment, including BCLC-B, and BCLC-C only for Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-1\n* No prior systemic therapy (including systemic investigational agents) for HCC, especially immunotherapy\n* Age ≥18 years and < 75 years at the time of screening.\n* Portal vein invasion or extrahepatic oligosaccharides were detected by baseline imaging. Oligosaccharides were defined as no more than two extrahepatic organs and no more than three tumors.\n* Portal vein thrombosis visible on baseline/eligibility imaging, patients with Vp1 and Vp2 are included\n* Patients who have previously undergone surgical resection, thermal ablation and other radical therapies for liver cancer may be enrolled. Prior TACE therapy must be used as part of the radical therapy (e.g. in combination with thermal ablation or surgery), but not as the sole form of previous treatment. These treatments need to be completed one month before enrollment.\n* Child-Pugh score class A to B7\n* No local antitumor therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma was received within 4 weeks prior to enrollment\n* No evidence of extrahepatic disease on any available imaging\n* No previous systemic antitumor therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma\n* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 at enrollment\n* The expected survival time is no less than 3 months\n* BCLC Stage B: Patients with Intermediate HCC exceeding the \"up-to-seven\" criteria [i.e., the sum of tumor number (number) and maximum tumor diameter (cm) exceeds 7]\n* Patients with HBV infection, which is characterized by positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis B core antibodies (anti-HBcAb) with detectable HBV DNA (≥10 IU/ml or above the limit of detection per local lab standard), must be treated with antiviral therapy, as per institutional practice. HBV antiviral therapy must be initiated prior to randomization and patients must remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study medication. Patients must show evidence HBV stabilization or signs of viral response (e.g., reduction HBV DNA levels) prior to starting IP. Patients who test positive for anti-hepatitis B core (HBc) with undetectable HBV DNA (<10 IU/ml or under the limit of detection per local lab standard) do not require anti-viral therapy prior to randomization. These subjects will be tested at every cycle to monitor HBV DNA levels and initiate antiviral therapy if HBV DNA is detected (≥10 IU/ml or above the limit of detection per local lab standard). HBV DNA detectable subjects must initiate and remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study medication.\n* Patients with HCV infection must have management of this disease per local institutional practice throughout the study. HCV diagnosis is characterized by the presence of detectable HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) or anti-HCV antibody upon enrollment.\n* At least 1 measurable intrahepatic lesion suitable for repeat assessments according to the following mRECIST criteria: (1)Liver lesions that show typical features of HCC on IV contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scans, ie, hypervascularity in the arterial phase with washout in the portal or the late venous phase;(2)Viable, non-necrotic portion (arterial phase IV contrast-enhancing) that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter.\n* Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below.

"exclusion_criteria": "* Evidence of macrovascular invasion (MVI).\n* Evidence of extrahepatic spread (EHS)\n* Being a candidate for curative treatments (e.g. surgical resection, RFA or liver transplantation).\n* Any condition representing a contraindication to TACE as determined by the investigators(for example, the main portal vein obstruction without collateral vessels formed, etc.);\n* Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC;History of leptomeningeal disease;\n* Allergy to TACE process medications (such as contrast agents) or to Lenvatinib is known or suspected\n* There are obvious arteriovenous fistula or portal vein fistula in the liver.\n* Tumor invasion or oppression of the common bile duct, resulting in malignant obstructive jaundice;\n* Tumor volume of 70% or more of the liver;\n* Previous history of molecular targeted therapy, such as sorafenib, apatinib, etc.\n* Patients who had previously used systemic therapy (e.g., immunotherapy, targeted therapy) were excluded from the study\n* Severe heart conditions, such as congestive heart failure & GT; New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, active coronary artery disease (patients with myocardial infarction that occurred 6 months prior to enrollment), arrhythmias requiring treatment (other than beta-blockers, calcium antagonists, or digoxin); Uncontrolled hypertension (diastolic blood pressure not below 90mmHg even after treatment with 3 antihypertensive drugs;\n* Active clinical severe infection (> Level 2 NCI-CTCAE version 4.0);\n* Presence of active pulmonary tuberculosis or inability to exclude intrapulmonary lesions of old pulmonary tuberculosis.\n* Known tumors of the central nervous system, including brain metastases;\n* Clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within 30 days prior to enrollment;\n* Autoimmune disease (HIV);\n* Pregnant or breast-feeding patients;\n* Prior history of liver transplantation;\n* Any unstable condition or condition that may compromise the patient's safety and his/her compliance with the study.",
