Table 3.

Tumor responses in patients to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) plus transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the TIPS group and endoscopy plus TACE in the endoscopic treatment group. Results reported as n (%).

Group (n/%)	Best response				DCR	ORR	χ²	P
Group (n/%)	CR	PR	SD	PD	DCR	ORR	χ²	P
TIPS+TACE (n=42)	4 (9.52%)	12 (28.57%)	17 (40.47%)	9 (21.44%)	33 (78.56%)	16 (38.09%)	7.895	0.041
Endoscopy+TACE (n=38)	2 (5.26%)	7 (18.42%)	12 (31.58%)	17 (44.74%)	21 (55.26%)	9 (23.68%)	7.895	0.041

CR – complete response; PR – partial response; PD – progressive disease; SD – stable disease; DCR (CR+PR+SD) – disease control rate; ORR (CR+PR), objective response rate; TIPS – transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; TACE – transarterial chemoembolization.
