Core Tip Conventional transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the current standard treatment for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A combination of N-acetylcysteine and dexamethasone ameliorated the occurrence of post-embolization syndrome event after TACE in patients with intermediate-stage HCC. A dynamic change in Albumin-Bilirubin score of more than 0.5 point was found to be a risk factor for post-TACE liver decompensation.
