Objective To evaluate the effects of combined TACE and PVC regarding the survival and diseasefree survival rate in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods The relevant articles were searchd by a database search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library (CENTRAL) Databases, Web of Science, Sciencedirect, National Institute of Health Clinical Trials Database, CNKI, WANFANG Database, and VIP Database. The analysis of the data was performed using Revman 5.1 Software. Results By searching and selecting, a total of ten articles met the inclusion criteria, of which 6 were in the postoperative group, and 4 were in the no-operative group. There were no statistical significance of heterogeneity in each group through subgroup analyzed. The pooled OR showed that combined TACE and PVC could significantly increase the 1-, 2-, and/or 3-year survival and disease-free survival rates compared with TACE alone for HCC patients. The pooled OR and 95% CI of the 1-, 2-and/or 3-year survival and disease-free survival rate, respectively, were as follows:In operative group, 1-year disease-free survival rate 2.09, 1.21-3.61; 3-year disease-free survival rate 3.62, 1.88-6.97; 1-year survival rate 2.25, 1.30-3.87; 3-year survival rate 1.96, 1.20-3.21. In no-perative group:1-year survival rate 3.90, 2.33-6.54; 2-year survival rate 5.30, 1.87-15.06. Conlusions  Compared with TACE alone, postoperative adjuvant combined TACE and PVC can significantly increase the 1-, and 3-year survival and disease-free survival rates. For no-perative group, adjuvant combined TACE and PVC can significantly increase the 1-, and 2-year survival rates. Based on the limitations of this meta-analysis (this article is included in the high quality literature less), clinicians should be cautious by using our findings.
