Subsequent histopathologic analysis of those lesions demonstrated atypical melanocytes containing melanin granules within the crista profunda intermedia.6 Similarly, in their retrospective analysis of Japanese patients withmelanocytic lesions, Saida et al5 found the parallel ridge pattern more diagnostically accurateofmelanoma in situ than“i...

Conventional vs drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the current standard of therapy for patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer classification. The concept of conventional TACE (cTACE) is the selective obstruction of tumor-feeding artery by injection of chemotherapeutic agents, leading to ischemic necrosis of the target tumor via cyto...

Transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads in hepatocellular carcinoma

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a widely used standard treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are not suitable candidates for curative treatments. The rationale for TACE is that intra-arterial chemotherapy using lipiodol and chemotherapeutic agents, followed by selective vascular embolization, results in a strong cytotoxic effect as well as ischemia (convention...
