Abstract
Summary and conclusion Hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor and mostly occurs in the sequel of liver cirrhosis. Imaging is very important and vital for diagnosis and staging of HCC. The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer Staging System remains the most widely classification system used for HCC management guidelines. For patients with large lesions or liver dysfunction, surgical resection is not feasible , whereas the palliative care including transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), are widely used for HCC patients to relieve suffering and improve quality of life. This study aimed to compare the combined Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) with percutaneous ethanol injection ( PEI ) against the technique of TACE alone in patients with unresectable HCC. Fifty patients with radiologically proven HCC >5 cm and not candidates for surgical resection were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups:- group I: Patients underwent single Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) followed by four times Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) every other day.
