        | Core Tip | Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the current standard of therapy for patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Drug-eluting beads (DEBs) have been introduced as novel drug-delivery agents for TACE, allowing for higher concentrations of drugs to the target tumor and lower systemic concentrations, compared with conventional TACE (cTACE). Despite the theoretical advantages of DEB-TACE, whether DEB-TACE shows superior efficacy to cTACE remains controversial. Reviewing the literature, we found that DEB-TACE shows similar clinical outcomes to and fewer adverse events than cTACE. |
