Liver metastasis is one of the common causes of death in breast cancer patients. In 2013, ASCO carried a study on liver metastases of solid tumors. By a comparison between the remission rate (RR) and overall survival time (OS) of hepatic trans-catheter arterial chemo-embolization (TACE)in breast cancer patients with liver metastases, they found that hepatic arterial chemo-embolization can be used as an independent and effective treatment method to prolong the survival time of breast cancer patients with liver metastases... ...

Interpretation by Specialist Wang Ronghua

Wang Ronghua explained that the efficacy of chemo medicine relies on not only the pharmacological effects of drugs and the patient’s sensitivity, but also the drug concentration in the lesion sites and total reaction time. Also, different routes of drugs administration play an important role.
