It is generally accepted that complete resection and adjuvant chemotherapy is necessary for long term survival in children with primary hepatic neoplasms. However general status of the patient, size, location and dissemination of the tumor do not always make resection possible. Preoperative chemotherapy has increased the number of patients undergoing potential curable resections who were accepted unresectable by standard methods. For that effect, transarterial catheter chemoembolization (TACE) has been established as an effective treatment modality for hepatic neoplasms . In the TACE technique, occlusion of the artery cuts short the blood supply of the tumor mass and prevents quick wash-out of the chemotherapeutic - lipiodol mixture by the blood stream; thus is effective in decreasing the vascularity and size of the tumor preoperatively and limiting intrahepatic dissemination peroperatively and provides easy access for resection.
