| Core Tip |
The great finding of this work was that through a homogeneous technique of hepatic chemoembolization with drug eluting beads, it was possible to perform the procedures controlling the drug delivery and end point. In conclusion, as far as the degree of tumor necrosis as well as in relation to survival, there was no difference between the group within the Milan criteria (bridging) and the group outside the criteria (downstaging). Therefore, it is worth investing in the treatment of patients out of the Milan criteria so that they have a survival with the same expectations of the patients in criterion. |
