The efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography-guided transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in hepatocellular carcinoma survival: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) represents an alternative treatment option for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, yet a comprehensive evaluation of CBCT guidance on this procedure and CBCT's impact on patient survival remains lacking. We aimed to assess the efficacy and benefits of CBCT-guided TACE in improving survival outcomes for patients with HCC and show the importance of CBCT in interventional radiology. Meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate CBCT-guided TACE compared to conventional TACE in the treatment of HCC. PubMed and Cochrane library databases were searched for studies published. Outcomes of interest included 1- or 3-year local progression-free survival (LPFS) rates, overall survival (OS) rates, and tu
