Abstract
Renal cancer is a typical tumor most insensitive to standard chemotherapy, but this hypervascular tumor has an anatomical feature by which its main feeding artery is readily accessible to transarterial targeting treatments. Effects of arterial chemoembolization, a prototype targeting chemotherapy, on renal cancer were reviewed.
