- Body tumor 1-6, the maximum tumor length < 5 cm
- KPS ≥ 70, lifespan > 6 months
- Platelet count ≥ 80×109/L，white blood cell count ≥ 3×109/L, neutrophil count ≥ 2×109/L, hemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L

Cryosurgery and NK immunotherapy
Cryosurgery
Arm Description
In this group, the patients will receive comprehensive cryosurgery first to destroy all big tumors, then receive multiple NK immunotherapy (intensive treatment: 6 times in first 3 months; then interval treatment: once every 3 months). The check indexes are CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets, circulating tumor cell).

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of cryosurgery plus NK immunotherapy to advanced liver cancer.
Detailed Description
By enrolling patients with liver cancer adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the safety and the short and long term efficacy of the combined therapy using cryosurgery and nature killer (NK) cells for advanced liver cancer.
The safety will be evaluated by statistics of adverse reactions. The efficacy will be evaluated according to local relief degree, progress free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
