Analysis of risk factors for post-operative infection following drug-eluting trans arterial chemo embolization in hepatocellular carcinoma: A retrospective study

For high-risk patients, enhanced perioperative management, appropriate timing of surgery, and active improvement of nutritional status should be implemented to reduce the risk of post-operative infection.
