Exclusion Criteria
  1. Contra-indications to TACE treatment:

    • Main portal vein thrombosis or occlusion
    • Evidence of biliary obstruction
    • Presence of extra-hepatic disease
  2. Diffuse-type HCC

  3. Major surgery <4 weeks or radiation therapy <2 weeks of starting the study treatment.
