Abstract:
20 patients selected from 60 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who treated by transcatheter oil chemoembolization (TOCE). The patients diagnosed by cytology or history, with size of tumor (5cm), without portal venous thrombosis. The results have shown that the rate of ephafetoprotein (AFP)- L3 after the treatment by TOCE related closely with relapsing time of cancer and survival duration and image of CT scanner after the treatment.
