Core Tip	Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) is generally considered to be related to or an absolute contraindication for hepatic resection or adjuvant chemotherapeutic methods such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Only conservative and palliative treatments are available. However, many experts have indicated that surgery or TACE prolongs survival and lowers recurrence compared to palliative treatments. Thus, treatments of HCC with PVTT remain controversial. Our study explored appropriate treatment strategies and identified prognostic factors by comparing the survival periods and rates for HCC-PVTT patients with 4 kinds of treatments.
