Purpose: To evaluate retrospectively the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with hepatic vein invasion by comparing the results of conventional transarterial chemoembolization and modified transarterial chemoembolization.
Purpose: To assess factors associated with better overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) following chemoembolization with doxorubicin-eluting microspheres for inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Background: There is a continuing debate on whether transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is more effective than RFA alone in the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We carried out this meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials to provide greater clarity on whether RFA plus TACE was more effective than RFA alone for HCC.
Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of cancer death worldwide (1). Most patients present with intermediate or advanced disease that is not amenable to curative treatment, and the median survival in this group is 6–8 months (2). Several studies and well-designed randomized trials have shown a positive effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on patient outcome and survival (3–11).
Purpose: To compare the rates of hepatotoxicity after transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with and without a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) who were stratified into comparable risk groups.
Purpose: To report the results of a phase I/II study of a transcatheter arterial chemoembolization protocol using cisplatin powder and degradable starch microspheres (DSM) for unresectable colorectal liver metastases after failure of FOLFOX (5-flourouracil, leucovorin plus oxaliplatin) chemotherapy conducted to determine the recommended dose of cisplatin powder and to assess the efficacy and safety of the protocol.
Objective: To investigate the additional diagnostic value of color mapping of the hepatic arterial enhancement fraction (AEF) for detecting recurrent or residual hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).
Background/Aims: To determine if hepatocellular carcinoma refractory to conventional transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) responds to TACE with DC beads.
Purpose: To evaluate cisplatin (CDDP) pharmacokinetics after its intravenous (IV) or intrahepatic arterial administration (IHA) in healthy pigs with or without embolization by absorbable gelatine.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of the current study was to retrospectively evaluate response and survival in patients with hepatic metastasis from uveal melanoma treated by palliative transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with fotemustine.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical utility of radiofrequency (RF) ablation combined with chemoembolization in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located in the caudate lobe.

Background & Aims: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a widely used treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma. In order to maximize its therapeutic efficacy, doxorubicin-loaded drug-eluting beads have been developed to deliver higher doses of the chemotherapeutic agent and to prolong contact time with the tumor. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting bead (DC bead®) TACE in comparison with conventional TACE (cTACE).
Purpose: To compare the efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) using multiple anticancer drugs (epirubicin, cisplatin, mitomycin C, and 5-furuorouracil: Multi group) with TACE using epirubicin (EP group) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Background & Aims: Aim of the study was to assess the clinical impact of conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) repeated “on demand” on HCC outcome. Outcome measures were: response rate to first and repeated cTACE, recurrence rates and overall survival.
To correlate posttreatment radiologic and pathologic findings in patients who underwent transarterial chemoembolization before transplantation or resection. Thirty-five patients with postchemoembolization follow-up imaging underwent liver transplantation/resection. Pre- and posttreatment contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging were used to evaluate radiologic findings. Imaging characteristics using World Health Organization (WHO) and European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) criteria after treatment were evaluated. Treated lesions were examined by pathology (gold standard) for the assessment of necrosis. Radiologic findings on magnetic resonance imaging were correlated to pathologic findings to assess the predictability by imaging of actual necrosis. Kappa (κ) statistics were used to determine intermethod agreement between WHO and EASL criteria. Fourteen (40%) of 35 lesions had biopsy-proven hepatocellular carcinoma. Thirteen (37%) of 35 target lesions showed complete pathologic necrosis. Complete pathologic necrosis was seen in 35% of lesions with pretreatment size <3 cm. Complete pathologic necrosis was seen in 1 (100%) of 1, 6 (67%) of 9, 6 (33%) of 18, and 0 (0%) of 7 of the lesions that exhibited complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD) by WHO criteria, respectively. Complete pathologic necrosis was seen in 9 (82%) of 11, 4 (36%) of 11, 0 (0%) of 8, and 0 (0%) of 5 of the lesions that showed CR, PR, SD, or PD by EASL criteria, respectively. EASL CR and WHO response were shown to have ≥85% specificity for predicting complete pathologic necrosis. The κ coefficient for agreement between WHO and EASL was 0.29. EASL and WHO criteria had minimal intermethod agreement. EASL CR and WHO response were able to predict pathologic necrosis.
