Chemoembolization of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2002Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the mainstay of treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Chemoembolization involves delivery of some type of chemotherapy combined with some type of arterial embolization to destroy tumor cells. Whereas diffuse tumors may require lobar embolization, smaller tumors may be

Chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma
Gastroenterology, 2004Curative therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), such as resection, liver transplantation, and percutaneous ablation, can be applied in selected patients with early tumors; this includes approximately 30%-40% of all cases. More advanced stages require local or systemic therapies.

Chemoembolization and radioembolization
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2014Chemoembolization and radioembolization are at the core of the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who cannot receive potentially curative therapies such as transplantation, resection or percutaneous ablation. They differ in the mechanism of action (ischaemia and increase cytotoxic drug exposure for chemoembolization, internal ...

Chemoembolization of hepatic malignancy
Abdominal Imaging, 2008Treatment of primary and secondary hepatic malignancies with transarterial chemoembolization represents an essential component of interventional oncology. This article discusses patient selection, procedure technique, results, and complications associated with transarterial chemoembolization.

Chemoembolization: principles and perspectives
Journal of Microencapsulation, 1984Chemoembolization is the injection of active-principle-bearing microparticles via selective catheterization. The authors discuss the advantages and the possibilities of this method in relation to selective catheterization and to the various time periods required for microparticle biodegradation and the kinetics of drug release.

Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Seminars in Oncology, 2012Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard of care for patients with preserved liver function and asymptomatic, noninvasive multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) confined to the liver. However, the survival benefit of conventional TACE-including the administration of an anticancer agent-in-oil emulsion followed by embolic ...

Chemoembolization for hepatic metastases
Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2002Liver metastases are one of the most difficult therapeutic challenges in modern oncologic practice. Few systemic therapies are effective for solid tumors in the liver. Resection is possible in a minority of patients and usually not curative. Image-guided therapies such as chemoembolization offer substantial intensification of treatment by combining ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma and chemoembolization
Internal Medicine Journal, 2001Abstract Background: Chemoembolization is often used in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma; however, there are limited data on its efficacy in an Australian setting. Aims: To review retrospectively the experience of 21 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who collectively had 36 chemoembolizations performed between October 1995 and February ...

Hepatic artery chemoembolization
Seminars in Oncology, 2002Chemoembolization is a technique that can deliver high concentrations of therapeutic agents directly to the liver for prolonged periods. Considerable experience has been gained in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, where it appears to be a safe procedure that provides survival advantage over conservative therapy.

Chemoembolization is a technique by which the blood flow in the artery feeding a tumor is arrested and, at the same time, an antitumor agent is delivered in a high concentration to the target site in anticipation of a synergistic antitumor effect. Usually, this is a transcatheter technique.
