11 Types of locoregional therapy AblaCve therapy (RFA, microwave, EtOH etc) TACE Bland hepacc artery embolizacon (HAE) ConvenConal (ctace) Drug elucng beads (DEB) YFrium 90

12 ConvenConal TACE Doxorubicin or cisplacn most used Lipiodol: iodized poppy seed oil HCC arterial blood supply Remaining liver dual blood supply

13 Drug- EluCng Beads ChemotherapeuCc ionic reaccon with bead Poly- vinyl alcohol N- fil hydrogel beads Slow elucon of drug from bead

14 SelecCng candidates for ctace/deb In most studies HCC confined to the liver and no extrahepacc- spread Portal vein thrombosis (relacve contraindicacon) Child- Pugh A, B Repeated uncl failure or untreatable progression However, in praccce, treatment is individualized
