Abstract

Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard procedure for intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TACE combines local chemotherapy with embolization of the arterially hypervascularisated HCC. In this article we present indication, contraindication, technical background, practical approach and side effect of TACE.
