Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Medicine
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis and treatment require effective strategies.
  • Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an emerging therapeutic option.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of TACE in HCC patients.
  • To evaluate TACE as a combined diagnostic-therapeutic approach.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 100 HCC patients undergoing TACE.
  • Diagnosis confirmed by US-guided fine-needle biopsy.
  • Imaging assessment using angiography and post-Lipiodol CT.

Main Results:

  • Angiography showed 95% sensitivity for HCC detection.

  • TACE demonstrated safety with low mortality and manageable complications.
  • Follow-up in 39 patients showed stable or decreased lesion size in most cases.
  • Survival rates were encouraging, with 70% alive at 1 year for 65 patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • A combined approach of angiography and simultaneous chemoembolization post-biopsy is accurate and cost-effective.
    • TACE is a valuable technique for managing HCC, impacting lesion evolution and survival.
    • The TACE procedure is safe and well-tolerated by HCC patients.
