Popis:	PURPOSEPrevious studies have shown that an inversed albumin-to-globulin ratio (IAGR) is a predictor of the prognosis of many cancers. However, the prognostic value of an IAGR for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who undergo transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is still unclear. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of an IAGR for the prognosis of those patients.METHODSThis study retrospectively analyzed 396 patients with HCC who received TACE. Using a cut-off value of 1.0 for the albumin-to-globulin ratio, patients were divided into a normal albumin-to-globulin ratio (NAGR) (≥1) and an IAGR (
