Actual (reported)
conventional Transarterial Chemoembolization(cTACE) is comprised of an anti-neoplastic agent(s) (i.e. cisplatin), lipiodol and embolic agent(s). The choice of agent(s) to be used is per usual local site practice. Chemotherapy agents can be as a single agent or used in combination, as per local practice.
