Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the interventional technique and mainstay of treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TACE is indicated mainly for unresectable HCC, cholangiocarcinoma, and hepatic metastases. In this method if used worldwide; however, many regimens, embolic materials, and techniques exist. The clinical results are also controversial. We present the history and the status of TACE for HCC.
