Official Title: Transarterial Chemoembolization Versus Best Support for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis
Study ID: NCT00646100
Brief Summary: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) had been proved to improve the survivals for middle stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but for advanced stage HCC its' efficacy had not been proved.
