Baseline tumor Lipiodol uptake after transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: identification of a threshold value predicting tumor recurrence

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between baseline Lipiodol uptake in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with early tumor recurrence, and to identify a threshold baseline uptake value predicting tumor response.
