Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard of care for patients with intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as recommended by Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) 2016 staging system. Data showed that patients treated with conventional TACE had longer median survival time (18-28,7 months) compared to those who did not (9,2-19,7 months).1 However, the clinicians have to select carefully which of their patients are suitable for undergoing TACE.2
