Core Tip	The manuscript reports the experience with a newer technique of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) that uses doxorubicin-eluting beads (DEB) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in liver transplant candidates. The results of DEB-TACE were compared to those of conventional TACE, and remarkably, a significantly higher recurrence-free survival after liver transplantation was observed in patients who were treated with DEB-TACE. The histological pattern observed in the area surrounding the tumor nodules of DEB-TACE patients was characterized by an intense inflammatory and fibrotic reaction, which could play a role in limiting tumor spread during waiting list time.
