NCT06156748

Brief Summary

Postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE) may improve survival outcomes in a subset of patients with resected hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), reliable biomarkers for the criterion for the selection of candidates are lacking. The present study aimed to evaluate whether CT imaging can provide more value for predicting benefit from PA-TACE.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall survival

    Overall survival was calculated from the date of hepatectomy to the last follow-up or until death, whichever came first.

Study Arms (2)

Hepatectomy alone

Procedure: postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization

PA-TACE

Interventions

HCC patients received hepatectomy and PA-TACE.

Hepatectomy alone
