Summary

This study tested a treatment for liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in people with mild-to-moderate cirrhosis. The treatment involved injecting a chemotherapy drug (idarubicin) mixed with a fatty substance (lipiodol) directly into the liver artery. The main goal was to see if the cancer could be controlled (shrink or stay stable) for at least 4 months. The study included 44 adults whose cancer could not be removed by surgery or other local treatments.
