Research purpose
1. To evaluate the impact of complex behavioral intervention on the one-year overall survival rate of patients with unresectable liver cancer after comprehensive treatment, a comparative study was conducted between the complex behavioral intervention group and the standard medical care control group, and the dose-response relationship between the intervention intensity and clinical outcomes was explored.
2. Analyze the impact mechanisms of complex behavioral interventions on patients' quality of life, adverse treatment reactions, and key biological indicators, including evaluating clinical outcomes such as 2-year overall survival rate, progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR), as well as the association between changes in related biomarkers and behavioral compliance.
3. Evaluate the implementation effect and sustainability of the "in-hospital face-to-face + wechat platform" hybrid intervention model, including intervention acceptance, long-term behavior maintenance, health economic benefits, and perioperative recovery of patients undergoing down-conversion surgery.
