Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to determine the effect of transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: A total of 71 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with transarterial chemoembolization. Results: The mean age was 60.9 year. The single tumor accounted for 37 (52.1%). The main cause hepatocellular carcinoma was hepatitis B, 62 patients (87.3%). For overall survival rate of the 71 patients who underwent transarterial chemoembolization were 4.104 years. Conclusion: Transarterial chemoembolization treatment can improve overall survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
