Lipiodol retention pattern predicts transarterial chemoembolization therapeutic effect in hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesUniversa Medicina, 2016
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence is increasing in Asia and Africa. Locoregional minimally invasive transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the palliative therapy of choice, improving survival rate. Adequate lipiodol dose calculation in TACE is necessary to produce good therapeutic effect. Lipiodol retention pattern can predict TACE
