External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) vs chemoembolisation

All‐cause mortality (at 1 year) · participants with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma

It is very uncertain whether external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) changes all‐cause mortality (at 1 year) compared with transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) (very low certainty).
