Fig. 18 — Technically similar, transcatheter therapies greatly differ by the composition of the injection. a Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) uses an emulsion of ethiodized oil and chemotherapy. b Transarterial (bland) embolization (TAE) relies solely on bland embolic material to treat the tumor. c Drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) are loaded with chemotherapeutic agent allowing prolonged delivery. d Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) delivers β-emitting microspheres. Note the greater diffusion of administered agents in the tumors with TARE compared to other transcatheter techniques
