Abstract

SUMMARY


Objectiv and methode: Transcatheter Arterial Chemo- Embolization(TACE) for 23 patients suffered from HCC (Hepato-
Cellular Carcinoma) with 34 times of embolization.
Results: The tumoral diameter is decreased after 1, 3 months
but no statically significant. The intra-tumoral hypervascularity is changing corresponding to the AFP level and the Lipiodol deposition. Some serum biochemical index such as GOT, GPT and Bilirubin are decresed but not statistically significant. Postembolization syndrome appeared in short time. Mean survival
time is 15,25 ± 9,04 months. Life standard quality is improved.
Conclusion: TACE is a palliativ treatment method however it can offer good result such as prolonging survival time and improving life standard quality.
