Hepatocellular Carcinoma Associated with Membranous Obstruction of the Inferior Vena Cava: Incidence, Characteristics, and Risk Factors and Clinical Efficacy of TACE

Abstract

The incidence of HCC in patients with MOVC was similar to that found in other studies. TACE resulted in an effective tumor response for HCC and seemed to be effective in prolonging patient survival. Female sex was the only significant factor associated with the development of HCC. A single nodular tumor with a peripheral location appears to have a higher probability of HCC.
