Core Tip	Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) represents the standard of care for patients with large or multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, TACE is a heterogeneous technique varying in terms of chemotherapeutic agents, devices and schedule. In order to overcome these drawbacks of conventional TACE (cTACE), drug-eluting beads have been developed. Unfortunately, despite its theoretical advantages, definitive data in favor of its superiority over cTACE are still lacking. TACE represents the standard-of-care for intermediate-stage HCC, in competition with other therapeutic options (surgery and radioembolization). Other fields of application are the pre-transplant setting and the early stage (in patients unsuitable to curative therapy).
