The current study was conducted to evaluate retrospectively the effects of three kinds of regimens used in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and patients' prognosis, and to analyze their prognostic factors. ## METHODS. The
## Background: The long term efficacy of combination therapy with transcatheter arterial embolization (tae) followed by percutaneous ethanol injection (pei) was studied in patients with large primary hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) tumors and cirrhosis. ## Methods: The series included 83 patients
## Background: The objective of this study was to identify clinical, biochemical, ultrasound, and/or pathologic parameters capable of predicting survival in a cohort of patients with well compensated cirrhosis and small hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) who were treated with percutaneous ethanol injec
