[Clivus metastasis from hepatocarcinoma associated with transarterial hepatic chemoembolization].

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world, and its incidence has increasing in the latest years. Recent advances in both, diagnosis and treatment, have improved the prognosis. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a therapeutic option, valid for patients who are not candidates for curative treatments, which has demonstrate to improve survival.
