Study of predictive factors of complete response after chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in 162 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Aim of the study

To study clinical, laboratory and imaging features correlated with complete response (CR) to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through 162 patients collected in Hassan II University Hospital of Fez.

Material and methods

From January 2015 to December 2019, 162 patients diagnosed with 225 HCC were treated by TACE. Among them, 14 showed CR during the follow-up. Imaging response was evaluated using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST). A multivariate analysis was performed including demographic parameters, etiology, α-fetoprotein (AFP) rates, hepatic function scores, imaging and TACE features. In cases with complete response and remission, follow-up duration was cons
