Oncologist. 2012;17(9):e21-3. doi: 10.1634/theoncologist.2012-0187.

Abstract

A retrospective study analyzing patient medical records examined the effect of transarterial chemoembolization on hepatitis C virus viremia in patients with hepatitis C virus–associated hepatocellular carcinoma. Transarterial chemoembolization did not lead to a substantial increase in hepatitis C virus viral load.
