Table 1 Demographic data.
| Patient characteristics | Total (68) | DEB-TACE group | c-TACE group | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number (n=35) | Number (n=33) | |||
| Age, year | 56.8±6.3 | 60.2±9.4 | 0.627 | |
| Sex, No. (%) | M (45, 66%) | 26 (26/35, 74%) | 19 (19/33, 58%) | 0.445 |
| F (23, 34%) | 9 (9/35, 26%) | 14 (14/33, 42%) | 0.249 | |
| Data represent the mean±standard deviation. Independent-sample -tests were used for demographic data. value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. DEB-TACE – drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization; c-TACE – conventional transarterial chemoembolization. | ||||
