Overall Survival After Transarterial Lipiodol Infusion Chemotherapy With or Without Embolization for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Propensity Score Analysis

Abstract

Propensity score analysis showed that in the treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, TACE was associated with significantly better overall survival rates than was transarterial infusion therapy without embolization. TACE can be recommended as initial treatment of these patients.
