Lead Sponsor:

Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital

Conditions:

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-75 years

Phase:

PHASE2

PHASE3

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether compared with arsenic trioxide TACE alone, arsenic trioxide TACE and intravenous administration could further prolong the overall survival.
