Criteria and classification of TACE-unsuitable

TACE-unsuitability is defined as each one of the following 3 clinical conditions that prevent a survival benefit from TACE or conditions that TACE is even harmful:
1	Likely to develop TACE failure/refractoriness:
Up-to-7 criteria out nodules
2	Likely to become Child-Pugh B liver function after TACE:
Up-to-7 criteria out nodules (especially, bilobar multifocal nodules), mALBI grade 2b
3	Unlikely to respond to TACE:
Confluent multinodular type, massive or infiltrative type, simple nodular type with extranodular growth, poorly differentiated type, intrahepatic multiple disseminated nodules, or sarcomatous changes after TACE

TACE, transarterial chemoembolization; mALBI, modified albumin-bilirubin.
