Chemoembolizációval, often referred to as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), is a minimally invasive procedure used primarily to treat certain types of liver cancer, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, and sometimes colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.

This dual action aims to kill cancer cells with less systemic toxicity than traditional chemotherapy and starve the tumor of oxygen and nutrients, leading to its shrinkage or death.
The procedure is performed by an interventional radiologist. A small incision is made, typically in the groin,
Patients undergoing chemoembolizációval may experience side effects similar to those of conventional chemotherapy, though often less
