Twenty patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were treated by combination therapy with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and percutaneous ultrasonographically guided ethanol injection therapy (PEIT) (TAE-PEIT group). Twenty-eight patients with HCC treated by TAE alone were also studied as controls (TAE group).<BR>Survival rate of TAE-PEIT group was significantly higher than that of TAE group. Among TAE-PEIT group, nodular typed HCC with capsule was the most effective type in this combination therapy. However, in massive typed HCC, nodular typed HCC without capsule, and multi-nodular typed HCC, this combination therapy were less effective. We conclude that combination therapy of TAE and PEIT is useful in the treatment of advanced HCC.
