ABSTRACT

At present,bronchial arterial chemoembolization(BACE)is a well-established,local minimally-invasive palliative treatment technique for mid-to-advanced primary lung cancer.However,its technical details are still controversial,and it is difficult to standardize each technical detail.Through reviewing the literature,this paper provides a detailed review of BACE,focusing on the source of lung cancer blood supply,embolization materials,particle size of embolization materials,number of treatments,embolization endpoints,selection of anti-tumor drugs,complications,therapeutic effect,etc.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33330-334)
