    Abstract:
    Combined treatment with intraarterial administration of oily anti-cancer agent (SMANCS-Lipiodol; copolymer of styrene maleic acid conjugate of Neocarcinostatin disolved in Ethiodol) and transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was employed in 2 patients with small hepatoma. At 3-4 weeks after treatment, hepatic resection was performed. Histopathological examination of the 2 resected specimens showed total cell necrosis; CT and Softex revealed the distribution of lipiodol in the tumor and adjacent regions. This combination treatment showed combined effects, i.e. embolization by TAE, the anti-cancer effect of SMANCS and the selective delivery of lipidol to the hepatoma, especially the area of capsula invasion, the daughter nodule and tumor thrombus.
