Limited survival benefit of preoperative transarterial chemoembolization in huge hepatocellular carcinoma due to the prognostic impact of satellite nodules: a retrospective cohort study
Preoperative TACE for huge HCC was associated with reduced MVI but did not improve RFS and OS. Survival outcomes were more significantly influenced by SN, suggesting that upfront hepatectomy without TACE should be prioritized.
