About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of CT volumetric measurement in assessing treatment response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following trans arterial chemoembolization (TACE) or microwave ablation (MWA)

Patients deemed unresectable by the multidisciplinary tumor board.
Patients scheduled for TACE as the primary locoregional therapy.
Preserved liver function (Child-Pugh class A or B).
Disqualifiers
Patients with extrahepatic metastases or portal vein thrombosis.
Patients with contraindications to iodinated contrast or TACE.
Patients with severe comorbid illness that precludes participation.
Patients refuse to provide informed consent.

Primary outcomes
Ct volume measurent of hepatocellular carcinoma after Transarterial chemoembolization or microwave ablation
At enrollment, all patients will undergo a comprehensive clinical assessment, including full medical history with emphasis on risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma triphasic CT scan of the liver, which will serve as the reference for tumor volume (by cm3 or cc), number, and distribution prior to TACE or MWA.
