PKM2 inhibition may reverse therapeutic resistance to transarterial chemoembolization in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Abstract Background Therapeutic options for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are limited. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an interventional procedure used to deliver chemotherapy and embolizing agents directly to the tumor and is the procedure of choice for patients with intermediate stage HCC.
