Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (also called transarterial chemoembolization or TACE) is a minimally invasive procedure performed in interventional radiology to restrict a tumors blood supply. Small embolic particles coated with chemotherapeutic drugs are injected selectively through a catheter into an artery directly supplying the tumor. These particles both block the blood supply and induce cytotoxicity, attacking the tumor in several ways. The radiotherapeutic analogue (combining radiotherapy with embolization) is called radioembolization or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). TACE derives its beneficial effect by two primary mechanisms. Most tumors within the liver are supplied by the proper hepatic artery, so arterial embolization preferentially interrupts the tumors blood supply and stalls growth until neovascularization. Secondly, focused administration of chemotherapy allows for delivery of a higher dose to the tissue while simultaneously reducing systemic exposure, ...

Lipiodol (labeled Ethiodol in the USA), also known as ethiodized oil, is a poppyseed oil used by injection as a radio-opaque contrast agent that is used to outline structures in radiological investigations. It is used in chemoembolization applications as a contrast agent in follow-up imaging. Lipiodol is also used in lymphangiography, the imaging of the lymphatic system. It has an additional use in gastric variceal obliteration as a dilutant that does not affect polymerization of cyanoacrylate. Recently there has been an increasing interest in the use of Lipiodol as a therapeutic agent in the management of unexplained infertility, using a procedure called Lipiodol flushing. There have been a small number of studies that suggest that flushing the media through the tubes gives a short-term rise in fecundity in patients with unexplained infertility. A systematic review has suggested a significant increase in fertility, especially in those women who have endometriosis when using Lipiodol flushing. ...

Clinical trial focusing on transarterial chemoembolization. Transarterial Chemoembolization With Doxorubicin With or Without Everolimus in Treating Patients With Liver Cancer

Chemoembolisation is a treatment used for cancer that starts in the liver, or cancer that has spread to the liver from somewhere else in the body.

Using palliative transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) a reduction of malignant liver neoplasms and a prolongation of survival time can be achieved. During the course of therapy phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy by means of chemical-shift-imaging was used for noninvasive examination of the cellular metabolism of energy and membranes. Differentiation between primary and secondary liver tumors was not feasible using 31P-spectra. After therapy patients had shown increased inorganic phosphate signal and reduction of the ß-NTP-signals, which normalized during six week intervall before next intervention. Response and non-response to therapy showed different courses of spectroscopic quotients during therapy cycle. Prominent reduction of volume as well as homogeneous and continous retention of lipiodol within the tumor are reliable combined with spectroscopic response to therapy. The first group of patients showed these signs at the examination immediately after embolization whereas patients ...

N2 - Most types of cancer are difficult to eradicate and some, like liver carcinomas, are almost always fatal. Significantly, we report here that direct intraarterial delivery of 3-bromopyruvate (3-BrPA), a potent inhibitor of cell ATP production, to liver-implanted rabbit tumors, inflicts a rapid, lethal blow to most cancer cells therein. Moreover, systemic delivery of 3-BrPA suppresses metastatic tumors that arise in the lungs. In both cases, there is no apparent harm to other organs or to the animals. Thus, intraarterial delivery of agents like 3-BrPA directly to the site of the primary tumor, followed by systemic delivery only when necessary, ...

Application of poly-lactide-co-glycolide-microspheres in the transarterial chemoembolization in an animal model of hepatocellular carcinoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin, cisplatin, and mitomycin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping the cells from dividing. Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by blocking the blood flow to the tumor and keeping chemotherapy drugs near the tumor. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can kill any tumor cells that are left after chemoembolization by blocking their ability to grow and spread.. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying to see if chemoembolization followed by bevacizumab works better than chemoembolization alone in treating patients who have liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. ...

Experimental Design: Thirty-two VX2 tumor-bearing New Zealand white rabbits underwent longitudinal imaging on clinical 3T-MRI and CT scanners before and up to 2 weeks after complete conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) using ethiodized oil (lipiodol) and doxorubicin. MR-spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) was employed for pHe mapping. Multiparametric MRI and CT were performed to quantify tumor enhancement, diffusion, and lipiodol coverage of the tumor posttherapy. In addition, incomplete cTACE with reduced chemoembolic doses was applied to mimic undertreatment and exploit pHe mapping to detect viable tumor residuals. Imaging findings were correlated with histopathologic markers indicative of metabolic state (HIF-1α, GLUT-1, and LAMP-2) and viability (proliferating cell nuclear antigen and terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase dUTP nick-end labeling). ...

There is a person I know (not well) who has a very odd condition, a small brain tumor that is inoperable and causes extreme emotional agitation (much like bi-polar disorder x 1000). He is on a lot of meds just so he can function. Is it even prudent to recommend therapeudic iodine supplementation to someone who is taking so many medications (I can only imagine the kind of detox he will experience). Also, I doubt he will be able to stop the meds until the tumor has quit putting so much pressure on the brain so there is sort of a catch-22 going on. ...

I am not allergic to iodine, I tested it on my skin plus my mother used to stick it on my skin a lot when I was young. I had/have undiagnosed pyroluria. This means B6 and zinc is bound up in heme and lost through urine and magnesium is not pushed into the cells efficiently, I would have had it all my life but I was coping with it. The extra demands with iodine pushed me over the top = severe palpitations = inability to access magnesium, Chronic detox = inability to break down B6 and therefore utilize zinc, extreme anxiety = pyroluria manifestation. I am willing to bet that most people ...

Objective The efficacy of combination transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) with subsequent percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT)was assessed.Methods Eighteen patients with 28 tumors under TACE followed within 1～2 days by ultrasound guided PMCT,which were diagnosed by liver biopsy.Results Ninteen tumors measuring 5 cm in greatest dimension showed complete necrosis,5 of 9 tumors measuring ≥5 cm in greatest dimension showed complete necrosis.Conclusions Combination therapy with TACE and PMCT for liver tumor is effective.

Background: To compare the efficacy and safety of long- versus short-interval of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.. Methods: This retrospective analysis enrolled 574 patients with unresectable HCC who underwent at least two sessions of TACE between January 2007 and December 2014. The patients were divided into a short-interval group (SIG) and a long-interval group (LIG) based on the median TACE interval of the first two sessions. Propensity score matching (PSM) identified 476 patients for a comparison of overall survival (OS) and safety.. Results: Before matching, the LIG had a longer OS than the SIG (Median: 12.1 vs. 8.7 months; P = 0.003). After matching, median OS in the SIG and LIG were 9.1 and 14.2 months (P , 0.001). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 37.5%, 17.1%, and 9.9% for SIG and 50.1%, 19.3%, and 11.6% for LIG, respectively. The TACE interval was an independent prognostic factor for OS. The LIG had a longer OS ...

2016 SIR Purpose To measure transarterial chemoembolization utilization and survival benefit among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) patient population. Materials and Methods A retrospective study identified 37,832 patients with HCC diagnosed between 1991 and 2011. Survival was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Propensity-score matching was used to address an imbalance of covariates. Results More than 75% of patients with HCC did not receive any HCC-directed treatment. Transarterial chemoembolization was the most common initial therapy (15.9%). Factors associated with the use of chemoembolization included younger age, more HCC risk factors, more comorbidities, higher socioeconomic status, intrahepatic tumor, unifocal tumor, vascular invasion, and smaller tumor size (all P < .001). Median survival was improved in patients treated with chemoembolization compared with those not treated with ...

Cripto-1 may act as an independent predictor for prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the function of Cripto-1 in HCC cells and its response to postoperative transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in HCC patients remains unclearly. Up-regulated Cripto-1 expression boosted the ability of cell proliferation, migration and invasion in HCC cells in vitro. While opposite results were observed in HCC cells with down-regulated Cripto-1 expression. Cripto-1 expression was correlated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) relevant biomarkers. Furthermore, in high Cripto-1 expression patients, those with adjuvant TACE had favorable TTR and OS times. On contrary, adjuvant TACE may promote tumor recurrence but had no influence on OS time in patients with low Cripto-1 expression. In different subgroups of vascular invasion, larger tumor size or liver cirrhosis, patients with adjuvant TACE had longer TTR and OS times than those without TACE in patients with high Cripto-1 expression,

In this study, the mean OS for all patients was 80.7 ± 5.6 months, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year median OS rates were 88.1%, 64.8%, and 49.9%, respectively. Recent studies in which patients with early HCC or HCC , 4 cm received TACE as the initial treatment modality have shown that the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 89% to 100%, 63% to 81%, and 43% to 52%, respectively [33-37]. The results of our study are in line with those of these studies. Another study investigated the long-term survival of patients with HCC who met the Milan criteria and underwent RFA (n = 315) or TACE (n = 215) as an initial treatment. The two groups did not show any significant differences in terms of long-term survival rates (the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 85%, 60%, and 41% for RFA, and 86%, 55%, and 36% for TACE, respectively) [33]. Recently, Kim et al. [7] reported that TACE can be a viable alternative treatment modality for small HCCs (, 2 cm) when RFA is not indicated, although RFA showed better ...
