| Core Tip |
To assess the usefulness of intra-arterial contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (IAUS) during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with drug-eluting beads (DEB) for 39 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Complete and incomplete treatments were 26 and 13, respectively. One month after treatment, 25 and 1 lesions were judged to be CR and PR, respectively, and at 6 mo after treatment, the results were CR, PR, SD and PD for 24, 1, 0 and 1 of these lesions, respectively, in the 26 completely treated lesions. The overall CR rate at 6 mo after treatment was 61.5% (24/39). A combination of DEB-TACE with IAUS can improve the therapeutic effects in HCC patients. |
