Applicability of scoring systems predicting outcome of transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma

ConclusionsClinical usability of suggested scoring systems for TACE might be limited depending on the individual patient cohorts and the indication. Especially in patients receiving TACE as bridging to LT none of the scores showed sufficiently applicability. In our study Child –Pugh score, STATE score and mSNACOR score showed the best performance assessing OS in patients with TACE as palliative therapy.
