Implication

Retrospective cohort study demonstrates favorable survival after transarterial chemoembolization in small hepatocellular carcinoma, indicating its viability for preserved liver function.

Key Points

  • Complete remission occurs in over half of treated individuals with solitary small hepatocellular carcinoma, yielding significantly longer survival than non-remission cases.
  • Median overall survival reached 89.1 months in complete responders compared to 58.8 months in non-responders, confirming a durable therapeutic advantage.
  • Retrospective cohort study across four university hospitals highlights transarterial chemoembolization as a viable therapy for patients with preserved liver function.
