in these days , are the oncologists and clinicans still used transcatheter oily chemoembolization for treating hepatoma cancer ?
hepatoma is the live cancer that sticks to the liver's vessels so it cant be treated by surgery , so this method is used , but I dont know that this method is still working or some new approaches came for treatment .

Yes TACE is still used as bridging therapy either before liver resection or OLT
Also, it can be used as palliative treatment in advanced HCC
