Abstract

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a widely used method for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma nowadays with safety and efficacy. Postembolization syndrome (PES) is a frequently side effect of TACE, and often is the cause of protracted recovery of patients. Our prospective study was performed on 663 TACE procedures at Viet Duc Hospital from 08/2022 to 07/2023. The result showed that previous history of PES, and other related factors influencing PES treatment were the number of tumors, the feeding arteries of the tumor, the tumor size, the level of selective injury and the level of lipiodol selected.
