ABSTRACT
Transcatheter oily chemoembolisation was done to 36 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. 9 patients had underwent the procedure followed by injection of gel foam particles. Surgery was done to 7 patients following the procedure by one to two months. All patients were followed up by Alphaf feto-protein level after 7 - 10 days and by CT after one mouth of the procedure. Alpha feto-protein level dropped in 27 cases to less than 50% compared with the pre-chemoembolisation level and to a level between 50% to 75% of the previous level in 6 cases while no significant changes occured in 3 cases. C.T. showed marked decrease in the tumour size in 5 cases, slight decrease in the tumour size in 23 patients while no change in size occured in 8 cases
