CT Imaging for Guiding PA-TACE for HCC
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE) may improve survival outcomes in a subset of patients with resected hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), reliable biomarkers for the criterion for the selection of candidates are lacking. The present study aimed to evaluate whether CT imaging can provide more value for predicting benefit from PA-TACE.
