Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with 355～500?m polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles for treatment of larger hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Seventy-three patients with larger HCC had been undergone TACE. Median tumor size was 12.3 (range 8.4～20.4) cm with Child-Pugh class A in all patients. The chemotherapy agents, Lipiodol and PVA were injected into tumor artery for each patient, with dose of PVA 100mg for 71 patients, 200mg and 50mg for each of another cases, respectively. The changes and responses of liver function and tumor size were noted. Results The tumor size decreased with an average of 3cm (P
