When comparing tumor progression between the first and second TACE cycle in the PLC group (n = 9, 29%, see Table 2), total liver area was significantly smaller after the second imaging process (166 ± 42.9 cm2 vs. 165 ± 50.7 cm2; p = 0.02) and total liver elastography significantly increased from 3.6 ± 1 to 4.1 ± 1.1 kPa; p < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene HSPG2 and neoplasm.
