3.4 Imaging changes of HCC patients before and after GSMs-TACE therapy

DSA imaging during GSMs-TACE procedures showed intrahepatic tumor staining, and the feeding artery came from the right hepatic artery. After GSMs-TACE procedures, the blood supply artery of the tumor was blocked, and the tumor staining disappeared according to the angiography (Fig. 3a). On the 4th day after interventional therapy, CT scan of the upper abdomen of 28 patients with HCC showed honeycomb necrosis to different degrees (Fig. 3b).
