| Core Tip |
Tumoral calcification following transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare imaging finding, and its clinical significance remains unclear. This case report describes two patients with large HCC who developed complete radiological response after drug-eluting beads TACE, followed by progressive peripheral calcification and sustained disease-free survival for 6 years. The notable association between post-TACE calcification and long-term remission raises the possibility that calcification may serve as a late imaging biomarker of effective tumor necrosis and durable treatment response. |
