<b>Chemoembolization [also called transcatheter arterial embolization]</b> consists of embolization, as described above, with specific catheterization of the artery or arteries supplying the tumor.  But the embolization is with gelatin sponge particles, which are impregnated with chemotherapy agents.  Thus the chemo agents remain in contact with the tumor at higher concentrations than would be possible systemically.  Doxorubicin is one of the agents frequently used this way.  This modality can be combined with RFA hyperthermia, and/or radiotherapy. [22]
