What is the TACE Procedure?
ACE stands for Transarterial Chemoembolization. It is a minimally invasive treatment commonly used for liver cancer and liver tumors.
In this procedure, a specialist delivers chemotherapy medicine directly into the blood vessels feeding the tumor. Small particles then block the blood supply to the cancer cells. This combination helps shrink or control the tumor more effectively.
Unlike traditional chemotherapy, TACE targets the tumor directly, which helps reduce damage to healthy tissues.
