Prognostic nomogram for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization
Background & Aims To establish an effective prognostic nomogram for patients with
unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transarterial chemoembolization
(TACE). Methods The nomogram was constructed based on data obtained from a
retrospective study on 2938 patients who received TACE as an initial therapy from 2000 to
2008. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were compared
with seven current commonly used staging systems on HCC by using data obtained from a …
