Abstract
Various methods of regional chemotherapy have been used in patients with non resectable heptic carcinoma. We report our preliminary experience with embolization using adriamycin-urographin-lipiodol in 2 patients with this cancer in whom a considerable reduction of tumoral mass was observed. The pertinent literature is briefly commented.
