Core Tip	A clear evidence in support of the superiority of yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y90RE) over chemoem-bolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma patients is still lacking. Results of our meta-analysis reveal that Y90RE and TACE show similar effects in terms of survival, response rate and safety profile, although tumor progression is delayed after radioembolization. Similar results were found as for objective response rate and safety profile. The sole statistical difference was with regard to 1-year progression-free survival, which resulted significantly in favor of Y90RE (OR = 1.67, P = 0.02).
