 LC BeadTM is a new product specifically designed for TACE. LC BeadTM microspheres can be loaded with doxorubicin Trade name: adriamycin, a chemotherapeutic anthracycline glycolide agent widely accepted for treatment of HCC. This novel bead slowly releases the ionically bound chemotherapeutic agent rather than administering a bolus of chemotherapy as is the case with many alternative methods of TACE. Thus, the LC BeadTM offers the potential advantage of less toxicity and prolonged tumor exposure.
