Abstract:
Objective
To evaluate prognosis of HCC patients underwent preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).
Methods
Clinic pathologic datum of HCC patients were retrospectively reviewed,which were divided into TACE group(Group A,139 cases)and non-TACE group(Group B,156 cases).The survival rates of two groups were compared.
Results
There were no significant differences between two groups. In patients with disseminated nodules, ductal invasion and poorly differentiated tumor, The survival rates were significantly higher in TACE group than non-TACE group,respectively (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Preoperative TACE is not suitable for all patients of HCC. The HCC patients with disseminated nodules, ductal invasion and poorly differentiated tumor were more benefit from preoperative TACE.
