About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Treatment of Recurrent HCC With Repeat Hepatectomy,and Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) With AFP Conversion

The purpose of this study is to compare the treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma with repeat hepatectomy,and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with AFP conversion.

Read the detailed description

Though many HCC patients have been benefited from hepatectomy treatment, still the high recurrence rate after the hepatectomy led to limited effectiveness.

This is the first study in same case system on comparison of effectiveness among repeat hepatectomy, and TACE with AFP conversion.

Being tested
TACE, Hepatectomy
Keywords
Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, AFP conversion

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TACEProcedure or surgery

    Also called transcatheter arterial chemoembolization

    In this study we prospectively select some early diagnosed recurrent HCC patients after radical resection with AFP conversion, then they will be treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)

  • HepatectomyProcedure or surgery

    Repeat Hepatectomy after postoperation recurrence
