Core Tip	We analyzed the risk factors for early local recurrence following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and investigated the treatment method and therapeutic results for local recurrence. This study showed that patients with early local recurrence had significantly lower survival rates and unfavorable treatment responses to repetitive TACE. Therefore, careful follow-up is believed to be necessary in patients exhibiting risk factors for early local recurrence, such as non-compact lipiodol uptake, large tumors, and an alpha-fetoprotein level > 20 ng/mL. Moreover, there was a small chance of a complete response after TACE, and considering other treatments or combining multiple treatments would therefore be advisable.
