Description	Purpose of this study is to compare volumetric analysis with the standard criteria - response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) and modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST) - for the evaluation of HCC and its response to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). The total of 40 patients was included in the study. Volumetric analysis was statistically proven the strongest factor of the correlation with the length of the survival of the patients, contrary to RECIST and mRECIST. It is a convenient way to evaluate the response of HCC to treatment, particularly in complex tumors after TACE.
