Chemoembolization in colorectal liver metastases: The rebirth
Giammaria Fiorentini,Camillo Aliberti,Luca Mulazzani,Paolo Coschiera,Vincenzo Catalano,David Rossi,Paolo Giordani,Stefano Ricci +7 more
TL;DR: The understanding that hypoxia induces vessel re-growth will open a new avenue for clinical research and a rebirth for TACE, and the development of new embolizing agents permits better standardization and definition of protocols, making the procedures less linked to criteria of different hospitals and personal experiences of interventional radiologists.
