Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Telbivudine
Procedure: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. The femoral artery at groin region is punctured for arterial access. Angiography is performed for demonstration of vascular structures before embolization.The arteries supplying the tumor are selectively catheterized, this includes the hepatic arteries or other extrahepatic collateral arteries.The chemotherapeutic agent(s) is mixed with lipiodol (an oily contrast) to enhance tumour uptake. Following delivery of the lipiodol/chemotherapy mixture, small gelfoam particles may be injected to reinforce the effect of treatment.
