“…The median survival times were similar, but the patients were offered a different treatment strategy as per the approach recommended by Sieghart et al [30] . We assessed the ART score before the 3 rd TACE in 126 cirrhotic patients with virally induced (57%) or alcohol-induced HCC (33%); these patients were BCLC A (45%), BCLC B (45%) and C (10%), and had undergone an average of 4 TACE [54] . The score also distinguished two groups with a significantly different median survival time, but changes in the score were not correlated with prognosis.…”

Several hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) staging systems have been established, and a variety of countryspecific treatment strategies are also proposed. The barcelona -clinic liver cancer (BCLC) system is the most widely used in Europe. The Hong Kong liver Cancer is a new prognostic staging system; it might become the reference system in Asia. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the most widely used treatment for HCC worldwide; but it showed a benefit only for intermediate stage HCC (BCLC B), and there is still no consensus concerning treatment methods and treatment strategies. In view of the highly diverse nature of HCC and practices, a scoring system designed to assist with decision making before the first TACE is performed or prior to repeating the procedure would be highly useful.
