In medicine, chemoembolization, also called transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), is "administration of antineoplastic agents together with an embolizing vehicle. This allows slow release of the agent as well as obstruction of the blood supply to the neoplasm."[1]
Efficacy
Chemoembolization may improve survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.[2]
Adverse effects
Post-embolization syndrome is a common adverse effect and is pain, nausea, and fever.[3]
More serious adverse effects include:
- Cerebral lipiodol embolism (CLE)[4][5][6][7]
- Pulmonary embolism[8][9]
- Ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma[10]
