transarterial chemoembolisation
ProcedureDuring transarterial chemoembolisation(TACE), a vascular catheter was selectively inserted into the tumour-feeding artery with an injection containing a mixture of doxorubicin (10-50 mg) and lipiodol (2-20 mL), followed by embolisation using gelatin sponge particles. TACE was repeated when residual viable tumours were confirmed or new lesions developed in patients with adequate liver function
