Transarterial chemoembolization using 40 µm drug eluting beads for hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 1 Patient with evidence of a ca. 32 mm tumor with arterial blood flow typical of hepatocellular carcinoma (wash-in phase at the centre of the image) in segment 3 treated with a single cycle of transarterial chemoembolization. A: Corresponding histological image of the tumor after transplantation: Particles can be seen inside the afferent arterioles of the tumor, documenting 100% necrosis; B: The follow-up CT scan after TACE observed complete response according to mRECIST. TACE: Transarterial chemoembolization; mRECIST: Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors; CT: Computed tomography.
