A dual‑action approach to tumours

Trans‑Arterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats liver tumours using a dual‑action approach. It combines targeted chemotherapy delivery directly into the tumour-feeding arteries with embolisation, where tiny particles block these vessels to cut off the tumour’s blood supply. This concentrated strategy allows the chemotherapy to act locally while depriving the tumour of oxygen and nutrients, maximising tumour control and reducing systemic side effects. Performed under local anaesthesia, TACE is precise, minimally invasive, and may require only a short hospital stay 🔬
