    Background. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common, difficult to treat cancer. Current treatment are surgical resection and liver transplantation. Inpatients who are unsuitable candidates for ... surgery, local ablation therapiesappear to be valid mainly for treatment of single neoplastic lesions smaller than 3-4 cm in diameter. Systemic chemotherapy is mostly inactive. Thedual vascular supply of the liver affords a unique opportunity to explore intraarterial therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma. Chemoembolization is a well-established technique combining intraarterial chemotherapy (mytomicin) with Lipiodol and delivery of embolic agents (Ivalon, Biospherej. In this article authors describe the role of chemoembolization (TACE) in the management of HCC. A clear presentation of TACE indications and contraindications is given. A detailed description of the procedure, complications, therapeutic results and a postprocedure follow-up are given.
