Brief Title: Drug-loadable(T-ACE Beads)for Hepatoma Embolization Therapy
Official Title: Hydrophilic Radiopaque Microsphere With Doxorubicin for Hepatoma Embolization Therapy
Study ID: NCT03299036
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Radiopaque Microsphere (T-ACE Beads with doxorubicin) interventional therapy for patients with liver cancer
Detailed Description: The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of Taiwan ACE Beads with doxorubicin used for chemoembolization for the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The investigators will study the overall response rates of lesions with Taiwan ACE Beads. The procedure is similar with the other commercializing drug-eluting beads. At the target vessels, radiologists will inject doxorubicin with Taiwan ACE Beads instead of Gelfoam or PVA (polyvinyl alcohol). The end point of injection is also similar with conventional TACE. Determine the complication rates, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) following Taiwan ACE Beads embolization.
