Core Tip

Core tip: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with microwave ablation (MWA) has been used more and more widely for treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there has been no study designed to analyze prognostic factors for survival after TACE combined with MWA for HCC. In this study, we retrospectively collected clinicopathologic data of 86 patients who were treated by TACE sequentially combined with MWA, and to analyze prognostic factors for survival after the combinational therapy. We hope that our finding could serve as significant information for clinicians and patients in the decision for selecting treatment strategies.
