Guerbet is committed for more than 40 years in Interventional Oncology. Lipiodol® TransArterial ChemoEmbolization has an impact on prolonging the survival of selected patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (1;2). Since, thanks to a close collaboration with physicians from all over the world, HCC treatment evolved.
By regenerating cTACE technique through procedure standardization and super selective catheterization approach (3), patient overall survival is positively impacted(3) and in specific cases*, a patient having a HCC with an irregular margin suggesting the absence of a pseudo capsule showing a well controlled tumor after 6 years (4) , or in a patient presenting originally three tumor-feeders, showing a well controlled tumor after 10 years and 4 months(5)
HCC treatment is still evolving with immunotherapy development. Here again, Guerbet is working in collaboration with international physicians to highlight the contribution of a combined treatment strategy for the benefit of patients.
