title: [Chemoembolization of primary liver cancer].
abstract: At the University of Frankfurt/M. we perform chemoembolization of the liver in patients with inoperable liver cell carcinoma. Before application of embolization material vasoconstriction of healthy blood vessels is achieved by intraarterial injection of norepinephrine. This procedure improves selectivity of tumor embolization. Methods, indications, contraindications and results are presented.
