Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma

  • Chapter
Primary Liver Cancer in Japan

Abstract

Worldwide annual incidence of hepatoma is estimated to be one million cases, with a male to female ratio of 4–5:1. In China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and sub-Saharan Africa, the annual incidence is as high as 150 cases per million population [1, 2].
