Hepatic Arterial Chemoembolization for Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Abstract

Chemoembolization with doxorubicin and iopamidol emulsified in ethiodized oil is less morbid than embolization with particulate matter alone, is more convenient and less costly, and it is less morbid than the effects of systemic chemotherapy. The median survival, duration and response compare favorably with other reported therapies.
