Core Tip	Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the most commonly used palliative therapy for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which can prolong survival with unsatisfactory long-term effects. 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) has been utilized for HCC in a series of trials, with promising results. This meta-analysis demonstrated that TACE combined with 3D-CRT was better than TACE monotherapy for the treatment of HCC, which still needs to be confirmed by large prospectively randomized, controlled, multicenter trials.
