Core Tip
Core Tip: Primary hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignant digestive disease with a high mortality rate. In this study, we found that drug-eluting bead transcatheter arterial chemoembolization treatment has more obvious effects than conventional transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization treatment. It can improve the liver function indices and tumor marker levels of these patients and does not increase the rate of liver toxicity or adverse reactions.
