The administration of drugs, as a main challenge of pharmaceutical and medicinal
applications, has certainly benefited from the application of synthetic polymers. However …

Embolization with microspheres is a therapeutic strategy based on the selective occlusion of
the blood vessels feeding a tumor. This procedure is intraarterially performed in the clinical …

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) offers a survival benefit to patients with
intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A widely accepted TACE regimen includes …

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a form of intra-arterial catheter-based
chemotherapy that selectively delivers high doses of cytotoxic drug to the tumor bed …

Synthetic polymeric microspheres find application in a wide range of medical applications.
Among other applications, microspheres are being used as bulking agents, embolic-or drug …

The drug‐eluting microspheres that have been widely used in clinical treatments such as
chemoembolization commonly suffer from inadequate drug loading and tracking difficulties …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: To follow the local tissue delivery of doxorubicin in HCC explants
from patients embolized with drug-eluting beads and to compare it with histologic …

We described a magnetic chitosan microscaffold tailored for applications requiring high
biocompatibility, biodegradability, and monitoring by real-time imaging. Such magnetic …

Abstract Background and Aim Doxorubicin‐eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization
(DEB‐TACE) is a novel locoregional treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma …

PURPOSE: To characterize in vitro the loadability, physical properties, and release of
irinotecan and doxorubicin from two commercially available embolization microspheres …
