How Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) is performed
In the catheterization laboratory, under image guidance, an arterial puncture is performed to insert a catheter to the blood supply branch of the liver tumor. A common practice is to selectively inject chemotherapy drugs and contrast agent after angiography, and combine embolic materials or drug-eluting microspheres to reduce perfusion, and repeat in stages if necessary. Postoperative monitoring of pain, fever, and liver function aims to reduce tumor blood supply and control lesions. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
