Schematic diagram of the therapeutic mechanism of chemoembolic microspheres. Tumor cells rapidly proliferate due to the angiogenesis. Oxygen and nutrients are supplied via newly generated arteries. Chemoembolic microspheres efficiently occlude vessels which were formed by angiogenesis, leading to starvation of the tumor tissue. Drugs released from the microspheres exhibit a synergistic anti-cancer effect on the tumor tissue.
