Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)
About the Procedure
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) is a targeted cancer treatment commonly used for liver tumors. Chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly into the tumor’s blood supply, followed by embolic agents that block blood flow, trapping the medication within the tumor. This dual approach maximizes tumor destruction while minimizing systemic side effects. TACE is often used when surgery is not possible.
