Exclusion Criteria: Complicated diseases and history: Patients currently have or had other malignancies within 3 years. Patients with the following two conditions can be included in the group: Continuous 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was achieved for other malignancies treated with a single operation. Cured cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer, and superficial bladder tumors [Ta (non-invasive tumor), Tis (carcinoma in situ) and T1 (the tumor infiltrates the basal membrane)]; Major surgical treatment, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury were received within 28 days before the beginning of the treatment; Subjects with any severe and/or uncontrolled disease, including: Having ≥ grade 2 myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction or arrhythmia (including QTc ≥450ms (male), QTc ≥470ms (female) and ≥ grade 2 congestive heart failure (classified by New York heart association, NYHA)); Active or uncontrolled severe infection (≥ Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTC AE) 2 grade of infection); Renal failure requiring hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; Patients with concomitant diseases that, in the investigator's judgment, may seriously endanger patients' safety or may interfere with the completion of the study, or are deemed unsuitable for inclusion for other reasons. Patients who have previously used anlotinib hydrochloride capsules or similar Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor- Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (VEGFR-TKI) small molecule drugs, such as vandetanib, cabozantinib, lenvatinib, sunitinib, sorafenib, etc.;
