An International Observational Study to Assess the Use of Sorafenib After Transarterial Chemoembolization (Tace) in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (Hcc): Optimis
“…To overcome this limitation, a large prospective study is needed. The OPTIMIS study, which is currently underway worldwide, and a large multicenter observational study on TACE could give further answers to our question . Another limitation is that we could not evaluate the influence of the etiology of background liver disease.…”

“…The OPTIMIS study, which is currently underway worldwide, and a large multicenter observational study on TACE could give further answers to our question. 33 Another limitation is that we could not evaluate the influence of the etiology of background liver disease. Hepatitis C has been almost conquered by direct-acting agents (DAAs).…”

The up-to-seven criteria had prognostic value and could predict non-critical recurrence and maintenance of Child-Pugh grade in patients who underwent initial conventional TACE.
