Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of transarterial chemoembolization in the care of patients not eligible for liver transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: Prognosis depends on local response, Okuda score, alpha-fetoprotein level, and tumor size and is independent of the presence of portal venous thrombosis.
