Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization was performed in all patients. After introduction of a 5F-RH catheter (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) through the femoral artery, hepatic artery angiography was performed and the location, number, size, and blood supply of tumors evaluated. Next, a 2.7F micro-catheter (Terumo) was super-selectively inserted into the arteries feeding the tumors and lobaplatin (50 mg) was infused, followed by slow injection of an emulsion of epirubicin (30 mg) mixed with Lipiodol (5–15 mL). Gelatin sponge particles (150–350 µm; Alicon, Hangzhou, China) were injected until the flow was static and full saturation of the feeding arteries had been achieved (16 (link)). Liver and kidney function were evaluated 10 days after TACE prior to administering MWA to patients receiving combined therapy.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
