Brief Summary

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

The investigators propose in this trial to test a hepatic chemotherapy, consisting of the hepatic intra-arterial injection Idarubicin, emulsified with Lipiodol, lipid vector, without embolization in the treatment of non-metastatic, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis with Child-Pugh A/B7.
