Diffuse type of infiltrative HCC accompanied by portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) has the poorest prognosis among other HCCs and there are no other prominent treatment options than systemic chemotherapy. In this study, we report ...

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization therapy using polylactic acid microspheres containing aclarubicin hydrochloride (ACR) was performed in 62 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma. These microspheres were about 200 microns in diameter and contained 10% (w/w) aclarubicin.
