Clinical conditions and treatment requirements for long ‐term survival among hepatitis B‐related hepatocellular carcinoma initially treated with chemoembolization

ConclusionIn this cohort, a 3 ‐year survival was associated with BMI, antivirus treatment, tumor status, hepatic function, and AFP level. Distant metastasis did not negatively impact the long‐term survival among patients with hepatitis B‐related HCC initially treated with TACE. Vascular invasion was the single impediment t o long‐term survival in patients who received add‐on resection and/or ablation after TACE.
