DC-CIK Combined With TACE in the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Phase 2 Study of DC-CIK Cells Combined With TACE in the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Evaluation of DC-CIK cells combined TACE treatment for HCC

60 patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, who had received Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) , will be randomly divided into group A (receive DC-CIK+ TACE treatment) or group B (just receive TACE), and the randomize ratio will be 1:1.
