Comparison of radiation doses between hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy and transarterial chemoembolization for liver cancer.

Objective: To analyze the radiation dose received by patients during hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) procedures and the related influencing factors.

Methods: Data of 162 cases in the HAIC group and 230 cases in the TACE group were collected. The included covariates were Age (<45/45-59/≥60 years), BMI levels (underweight/normal weight/obesity), focus Dye of tumor (present/absent), lesion size (<5cm/≥5cm), superselection (present/absent), hepatic vascular variation (present/absent).
