Abstract
One of the most important; reasons that hepatocellular carcinoma displays a poor prognosis, is the low resectability rate at the time of the diagnosis . In this study, we report a case of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma converted to resectable after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. In addition a review of the literature is attempted.
