Abstract:
Clinically,hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is characterized by its high incidence and high malignancy,and in most patients the disease has already been in the middle-advanced stage when the diagnosis is confirmed.Transcatheter hepatic artery chemoembolization(TACE)has been the preferred treatment for patients with unresectable HCC,which can significantly reduce the pain of patients'suffering.So far,enhanced CT scan or enhanced MR scan are often used to evaluate the efficacy of TACE,but there are still certain difficulties in making accurate and objective evaluation of the early tumor response after TACE treatment.With the emergence of novel imaging methods such as cone beam CT,energy spectrum CT,functional MR imaging,contrast-enhanced ultrasonography,positron emission CT in recent years,the observation of microscopic and objective changes in tumors has become possible.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the recent advance in imaging examination techniques for HCC after TACE.
