Core Tip
Core Tip: It is unclear which factors affect the short-term and long-term prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis receiving transarterial chemoembolization. In our research, we clarified the predictors correlated with the short-term and long-term survival of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis who underwent transarterial chemoembolization by analyzing preoperative indicators. Results showed that aspartate aminotransferase, sex, and total bilirubin were independent factors associated with short-term survival. The number of lesions and the gross pathological type of tumor were related to the long-term outcome.
