Role of Mesohepatectomy with or without Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization for Large Centrally Located Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

Long-term outcomes of patients with preoperative TACE were improved and the pattern of the recurrences after surgery was altered. The patients with large centrally located HCC could benefit more from this neoadjuvant treatment, although there was some influence of preoperative TACE on postoperative complications.
