Objective The application of CTHA/CTAP in examination of liver cancer relapse after interventional therapy were retrospectively analyzed.Methods The CTHA/CTAP and DSA were performed on 19 patients with primary hepatic cancer after receiving TACE procedure followed by obvious rising of AFP.Results CTHA/CTAP discovered 14 recurrent lesions in the peripheral region of the embolized tumors,and 15 new lesions.In comparison,DSA only discovered 6 recurrent lesions and 8 new lesions.Conclusion Comparing with DSA,CTHA/CTAP is a more sensitive and reliable method in detection of liver cancer relapse after interventional therapy.
