Establishment of a prognosis-related predictive model for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with macrovascular invasion treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with intensity modulated radiotherapy

Treatment frequency of TACE and Child-Pugh grade, liver cirrhosis and AFP level were independent predictors of OS in HCC patients with MVI after TACE combined with IMRT treatment. The nomogram that we developed using these predictors provided a convenient tool to predict the survival probability in HCC patients with MVI.
