TACE for Cancer Patients: Minimally Invasive Treatment Options and Long-Term Survival

Prof. dr. med. Attila Kovács has over 26 years of experience in treating oncology with interventional procedures. The department uses advanced techniques like TACE in the complex treatment of different malignancies.

What is TACE?

Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers chemotherapy directly to tumors while blocking their blood supply. This targeted approach maximizes treatment effectiveness while minimizing side effects.

Long-Term Survival Rates

Recent studies show significant improvements in long-term survival rates for patients undergoing TACE treatment, particularly for liver cancer and metastases. The procedure offers hope for patients who may not be candidates for traditional surgery.
