Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignancy of the liver and occurs mainly due to chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. It is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with over 500,000 people affected. Transarterial chemoembolization is the current standard of therapy for patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Conventional TACE is considered as a standard treatment for HCC.
