The Combination of Albumin–Bilirubin Score and Prothrombin Time Is a Useful Tool for Predicting Liver Dysfunction after Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization in Child–Pugh Class A Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma within Up-to-Seven Criteria

The Combination of Albumin–Bilirubin Score and Prothrombin Time Is a Useful Tool for Predicting Liver Dysfunction after Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization in Child–Pugh Class A Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma within Up-to-Seven Criteria

Mortality and recurrence rates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are high. Recent studies show that for patients with HCC beyond up-to-seven criteria, treatment with molecular-targeted agents (MTAs) is recommended because the treatment efficiency of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is...
