Abstract

Compound Kushen Injection (CKI) is Sophora Flavescens and Heterosmilacis Japonicae extract. Meta-analysis confirmed that CKI plus transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is more superior to TACE alone for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (UHCC) patients.

Keywords: Compound Kushen Injection; TACE; Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization; hepatocellular carcinoma.
