What is hepatic chemoembolization?

Hepatic chemoembolization is a targeted, minimally invasive procedure that treats liver cancer by combining chemotherapy and embolization.

Under radiological guidance, a catheter is inserted into the hepatic artery to deliver chemotherapeutic agents directly to the tumor. At the same time, particles are injected to block the blood vessels that feed the tumor, increasing the concentration of the cancer drugs and limiting their spread to the rest of the body.

This approach destroys cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.

Indications for chemoembolization

Hepatic chemoembolization is generally indicated for :

Indications for chemoembolization may vary depending on the stage of the disease, the patient's general condition, and other factors. Only a physician can make an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.

Course of the intervention

Chemoembolization is performed in the hospital, usually on an outpatient basis.

A local anesthetic is given at the puncture site. The catheter is then guided under x-ray to the artery supplying the tumor, where the chemotherapy mixture is injected.

Once the procedure is complete, the catheter is gently removed and a pressure dressing is applied to the insertion site.

The duration of liver chemoembolization in Turkey often varies between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's health.

The hospital stay after liver chemoembolization in Turkey is usually 1–3 days. 

However, some patients may need to stay in the hospital longer, depending on their health condition.

Possible side effects

The most common side effects reported after hepatic chemoembolization include:

Although rare, more serious complications such as infection, bleeding, hepatic ischemic stroke, or pancreatitis may occur.

Post-procedure follow-up

A clinical and biological check-up is carried out regularly to monitor treatment efficacy and detect any side effects.

An imaging examination (CT scan or MRI) is performed one month after surgery to assess tumor response.

Post-operative recommendations

After chemoembolization, your body needs to recover. Here are some tips for optimal recovery:

You may gradually return to your usual activities. Avoid heavy physical exertion for the first few weeks. Listen to your body and adjust your pace according to how you feel.

Hepatic chemoembolization: Pros & Cons

Liver chemoembolization is a minimally invasive technique that is effective against liver tumors, including those that are resistant to other treatments. It can be used to treat inoperable tumors and can prolong patient survival.

However, it is a technique that requires specific expertise. It also carries a risk of side effects, some of which may be serious, and requires close medical monitoring after the procedure.

The risks and benefits of this procedure should be carefully weighed before making a decision.
