Drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: does size really matter?

CONCLUSION: TACE with 100-300 μm DEB is associated with better initial treatment response and fewer major complications compared with 300-500 μm. Our study also highlights the impact of tumor characteristics on treatment outcome of different DEB size, which might help to select the optimal sphere size for TACE in the treatment of HCC.
