Conventional transarterial chemoembolization (c-TACE) is a common treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is associated with increased overall survival (OS) when compared to conservative management. The purpose of this study is to analyze all c-TACE with mitomycin in patients with HCC at a single institution to determine safety, efficacy, and prognostic factors in a long-term follow-up.
