Whether or not a given patient was treated with transarterial
chemoembolization (TACE)--and if so, the type used--and the size of that patient s tumor were found not to be predictors of survival in this small series of patients.
Portal vein (PV) thrombosis is considered an absolute contraindication to Transarterial
Chemoembolization (TACE) treatment by some researchers and a relative contraindication by others.
A specific example of a tumor embolization procedure is transarterial
chemoembolization (TACE), used for palliative treatment of liver tumors.
These excluded embolizations were most commonly done for the treatment of cancer via either
chemoembolization or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT).
Other indications for conventional angiography in GTN include selective embolization of isolated vaginal metastases and
chemoembolization of hepatic metastases.
All patients had undergone transarterial
chemoembolization (TACE) and additional radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
Transarterial embolization, transarterial
chemoembolization (TACE), doxorubicin-eluting beads, and radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres all can achieve long-term survival in some patients.
Multiple bilateral blood supplies from hepatic artery and portal vein make transcatheter arterial
chemoembolization (TACE) less effective for malignant tumors in the lobe than those in the main lobes.
Previous treatment was included none (27%), resection with relapse (20%), transarterial
chemoembolization (50%), radiofrequency ablation (28%), percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (15%), chemotherapy (14%).
Prospective cohort study of transarterial
chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in 8510 patients.
Nevertheless, it is yet not fully understood and clarified why especially DSM had beneficial impacts on tumor treatment along with
chemoembolization procedures.
