Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the results of hepatocellular carcinoma treatment by embolization using ethanol and lipiodol. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 33 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were embolized with ethanol and lipiodol at K Hospital from march 2020 to june 2021. Conducting calculate and compare the rate of treatment response after 01 and 03 months of intervention between 2 groups of tumors with size ≤ 10cm and > 10cm, the intervention group used E: L 1:1 and 1:2. Monitoring the change in αFP levels after 01 and 03 months of intervention. Results: The rate of response to treatment was higher in the group with tumor size ≤ 10cm than in the group with tumor size > 10cm (p<0.005), the group with the ratio E:L 1:1 was higher than the group E:L 1:2 (p<0.005). ). The concentration of αFP gradually decreased after the intervention 01 and 03 months (p<0.001). Conclusion: Treatment of HCC with TAELE is a safe and effective method that needs further study for its full evaluation.
