Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, and most patients with advanced HCC have lost the opportunity of surgical resection. At this time, TACE is by far the preferred treatment. It has better clinical efficacy, but its adverse reactions are also the problem that clinicians must face. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is mild in nature and has few toxic and side effect, and it can reduce the dosage of chemotherapy drugs and improve the immunity of the body. Therefore, TACE combined with TCM for the treatment of HCC has been gradually promoted by clinicians. The purpose of this paper is to review the application and advantages of TACE combined with TCM such as Kanglaite, Elemene, Huaier and Ganfule. Key words: Hepatocellular carcinoma; Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization; Traditional chinese medicine; Kanglaite; Elemene; Huaier; Ganfule
