Core Tip	This study evaluates whether the combination of programmed death-ligand 1 on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio can serve as a biomarker for predicting the prognosis of immune combination targeted therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma. Our study suggests the combination of CTC and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) scores as a new index for predicting survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC patients may benefit from pre-treatment assessment of their CTC-NLR scores for risk classification and clinical decision-making.
