PROCEDURE

Procedure:

Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)

A catheter is guided through a small puncture to the blood vessels feeding a liver tumor. Chemotherapy is delivered directly into the tumor, and then the blood supply is partially blocked to trap the medication in place and starve the tumor.

Who It Helps

  • Patients with liver-dominant cancers (e.g., HCC or metastases)
  •  Those who are not candidates for surgery

Key Benefits

  • High-dose therapy delivered directly to the tumor
  • Minimizes systemic side effects
  • Studies show tumor control rates of 50–70%
