Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is used as palliative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Most publications are from HCC patient populations where viral hepatitis is the primary cause of liver disease. In the Nordic countries, most patients have either alcohol-induced cirrhosis or are noncirrhotic. The aim of this single-center study was to evaluate patient characteristics, survival, and side effects of TACE in a Danish referral center for HCC treatment.
