Abstract

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the most widely used primary treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TACE increases the in-situ dwell time and concentration of drug through vascular occlusion by drug-eluting beads (DEB). DEB consist of injectable polymeric microspheres of calibrated size that can be loaded with various antineoplastic solutions.
