Can I combine RF Ablation and TACE therapies?

Combining therapies is possible.  We are supporting a trial to investigate this further.  There are 2 rationales:

  • RF Ablation followed by TACE - here TACE is carried out after RF ablation to embolise any unablated margins.
  • TACE then RF ablation - here the reduced blood flow gives a larger ablative field as blood acts as a heat sink.  Additionally, any unablated regions may receive chemotherapy as well.
