Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE): Definition & Procedure
2022年6月29日 · Chemoembolization is a liver cancer treatment. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that cuts off a tumor’s blood supply using chemotherapy and an embolic agent.
Chemoembolization - Stanford Health Care
Chemoembolization delivers and traps a high dose of cancer-killing drug (chemotherapy) directly in the tumor while depriving the tumor of its blood supply by blocking, or "embolizing," the arteries feeding the tumor.
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization - Wikipedia
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a minimally invasive procedure performed in interventional radiology to restrict a tumor's blood supply. Small embolic particles coated with chemotherapeutic drugs are injected selectively through a catheter into an artery directly supplying the tumor.
Chemoembolization | Interventional Radiology - Penn Medicine
What is chemoembolization? Chemoembolization is a palliative treatment for liver cancer. This can be a cancer originating in the liver or a cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the liver from other areas of the body. During chemoembolization, three chemotherapy drugs are injected into the artery that supplies blood to the tumor in the liver.

Chemoembolisation (TACE) for liver cancer | Cancer Research UK
Chemoembolisation is a treatment directly into the liver. You have chemotherapy into the blood vessel that feeds the tumour. Then you have small particles injected into the blood vessel to block off the blood supply. It’s also called trans arterial chemoembolisation (TACE). Chemoembolisation works in two ways:
