Socioeconomic factors may impact locoregional therapy (LRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Combined chemoembolization (TACE) with microwave ablation (MWA) may be an acceptable alternative to trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) in underserved settings due to easier accessibility. The aim of this study was to identify socioeconomic factors impacting LRT for HCC by comparing long-term outcomes between TARE and combined TACE/MWA in HCC patients, with an emphasis on disparities across socioeconomics groups.
