Supraselective transarterial chemoembolization (STACE) more efficiently targets chemotherapy delivered via the feeding arterial branches of the tumor than does conventional transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). However, the hypothesis of its greater efficacy compared with the latter is subject to
The actual impact of transarterial chemoembolization before liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on patient survival and HCC recurrence is not known. Between 1985 and 1998, 479 patients with HCC in 14 French centers were evaluated for LT. Among these 479 patients, this case-
The selection of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma for liver transplantation is currently based on the size and number of tumors to minimize the risk of recurrence. These criteria measure tumor bulk but may not reflect tumor behavior accurately. A biological marker of tumor behavior could aid w
