Abstract

Metastatic involvement of the liver determines the treatment. Hepatic artery chemoembolization (TACE) represents a safe palliative treatment for patients with unresectable liver metastases. Technical treatment, indication and results of the TACE are reported. The results of TACE depend on primary cancer, size and vascularisation of the hepatic tumors. Our results with out patient treatment of 245 patients prove that TACE results in a extremely low rate of side effects. Combination of TACE with local ablative treatment may present potentially curative treatment option for unresectable tumors.
