The role of LDH serum levels in predicting global outcome in HCC patients undergoing TACE: implications for clinical management.

The role of LDH serum levels in predicting global outcome in HCC patients undergoing TACE: implications for clinical management.

In many tumor types serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels is an indirect marker of tumor hypoxia, neo-angiogenesis and worse prognosis. However data about hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are lacking in the clinical setting of patients undergoing transarterial-chemoembolization (TACE) in whom hypox...
