Study summary

Radiological response after trans arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is classified according to Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) to: complete response (CR) (disappearance of arterial enhancement), partial response (PR) ( at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of viable enhancement), progressive disease (PD) (an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the diameters of viable enhancement, or appearance of new lesions), and stable disease (any cases that do not qualify for either partial response or progressive disease
