ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) before operation, including side effects and the improvment for the suceesfult resection rate.Methods 56 patients with cardiac cancer were divided into two groups: TACE group and resection group. The former included 25 patients (male 14, female 11) undertaken TACE 7-15 days before surgery. The image manifestations, histological changes and side effects together with the time of operation, volume of blood lose during operation and the succesful resection rate were compared with those of the latter. Results 1. TACE induced the necrosis of tumor tissue to some extent and possessed the power to localize the lesion with little side effects. 2. TACE before resection did not only minimize the injury of operation but also improved the resection rate. Conclusion TACE is a safe, effective modality before operation and is worthy for recommendation
