| Core Tip |
The relationship between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) location and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) efficacy was evaluated. In Child–Pugh A, the median location coefficient of HCC among all nodules, right lobe, and medial segment was significantly higher in the complete response (CR) group than in the non-CR group, with no significant differences in the lateral segment. In Child–Pugh B, the median location coefficient of HCC in each lobe and segment was not significantly different between the two groups. Therefore, improved TACE efficacy may be obtained for HCC in the peripheral zone of the right lobe and medial segment in Child–Pugh A patients. |
