3. A 81 y.o. man with unresectable HCC
TACE was performed with a combination of
Lipiodol and Doxorubicin, without any other
treatment
CT-scan imaging and liver function tests were
performed before and after the TACE

and no tumor thrombus

FIG. PROCEDURE OF TACE

7. TACE  injection of an embolic agent into
the tumor-feeding arteries to block its
major nutrient source, and results in
ischemic necrosis of the targeted tumor,
with minimal adverse effect
The dosage depends on the size of tumor.
In this case, given doxorubicin 10mg as an
embolant and lipiodol ultra fluid 10 cc, mix
homogently and administrated via arterial
chateterization to tumor gradually
according to the blood pulse.
PROCEDURE OF TACE

8. Age factor,
size of
tumor and
liver function
test, surgery
can not be
applied to
this patient.
TACE was
needed as a
palliative
treatment
Tumor size
decrease
52 %, and
the liver
function was
improved
The patient
survive
almost 6
years
whereas in several RCTs,
the most common survival
rate post TACE (alone)
treatment was 1 year.
