Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization with adriamycin to transarterial chemoembolization with adriamycin/transarterial chemoinfusion with cisplatin combination in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein invasion.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Potentially curative treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) include surgical resection, liver transplantation, and local ablative therapy.

However, HCC patients are diagnosed at advanced stages in Korea. Especially, HCCs with portal vein invasion are unresectable and they are not suitable for other curative therapies. For these patients, the optimal treatment remains largely controversial. As a palliative treatment, the benefit of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) had been shown in patients with unresectable HCC and without portal vein invasion by several trials. In patients with main portal vein invasion, TACE is theoretically contraindicated because of the potential risk of hepatic failure resulting from ischemia after TACE. However, recent studies have revealed that TACE could safely be performed in these patients.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with adriamycin to transarterial chemoembolization with adriamycin/transarterial chemoinfusion (TACI) with cisplatin combination in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein invasion.
