Abstract
A study conducted by a multidisciplinary team of the Faculty established that “Ablative Chemoembolization” (ACE), a new transarterial treatment, could prolong the progression-free survival of liver cancer patients at the intermediate stage by twice the length of time of “conventional transarterial chemoembolization” (cTACE). Results were published in the medical journal Radiology.
