Background & AimsTransarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is recommended as standard care for intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We analyse the rationality and effectiveness of TACE with BCLC B stage HBV-related HCC in a large cohort.MethodsA total of 1516 patients with BCLC B stage from 7724 HBV-related HCCs who received TACE as initial treatment were retrospectively studied. The treatment response was assessed by the mRECIST criteria. The overall survival was calculated with life-table method and compared with the Mantel-Cox test. The prognostic factors were assessed using Cox proportional hazards.ResultsThe 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 84%, 29% and 19% respectively for all patients. Alpha-foetoprotein, Child-Pugh classification, tumour size and number were independent prognostic factors. The 5-year survival for patients with CR, PR, SD and PD were 39%, 19%, 2% and 0%, respectively (P
