background: hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is a primary liver cancer that frequently causes mortalities. transarterial chemoembolization (tace) is a new palliative treatment for advanced stages of hcc. in this study, we have assessed the results of tace on a group of iranian patients with advanced hcc treated at imam khomeini general hospital. materials and methods: this was a case series, coho...

Background and AimsTo validate prognostic performance of the China liver cancer (CNLC) staging system as well to compare these parameters with those Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) for Chinese hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).

Balloon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) using a microballoon catheter is a promising method for improvement of lipiodol emulsion accumulation and local control relative to conventional transarterial chemoembolization. This method has been referred to as the balloon anchor technique in previous reports. We report a new technique for successful parent catheter advancement for ac...

At an intermediate or advanced stage, i.e. stage B or C, based on the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer classification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) may be offered as a treatment of palliative intent. We report the case of a patient suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome after TACE with drug-eluting beads loaded with doxorubicin for HCC. To ou...

following failure of systemic chemotherapy, transarterial chemoembolization (tace) is an available method to control unresectable liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma (crc). the aim of present study was to evaluate the efficacy of chemoembolization for inoperable metastatic liver lesions from crc. forty-five crc patients with liver metastases resistant to systemic chemotherapy were enroll...

Introduction: Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) is one of the palliative treatments offered in patients staged Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) B. TACE can lead to many complications, like decompensation liver, liver abscess, rupture, femoral artery pseudoaneurysm and gallbladder pathology. Methods: We report a case 58-year old gentleman, which developed extensive portal vein thrombosi...

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) can prevent tumor progression in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma awaiting liver transplantation. This article introduces the effect of TACE before liver transplantation in terms of dropout rate, improvement in overall survival, prediction of survival, and its application as down-stage

Management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be maximized with the utilization of multiple treatment modalities including transplant, surgical resection and locoregional therapies including ablative therapies and transarterial embolotherapies. Although transplant and surgical resection offer the best clinical outcomes, a limited number of patients are amenable to these surgical treatment op...
