Prognosis and monitoring significant of lectin affinity Alpha-fetoprotein in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated by transcatheter oil chemoembolization (TOCE)

ABSTRACT

20 patients selected from 60 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who treated by transcatheter oil chemoembolization (TOCE). The patients diagnosed by cytology or history, with size of tumor (5cm), without portal venous thrombosis. The results have shown that the rate of ephafetoprotein (AFP)- L3 after the treatment by TOCE related closely with relapsing time of cancer and survival duration and image of CT scanner after the treatment.
