The following conclusions were obtained in terms of the histological response of preoperative TAI and TAE in 27 hepatectomized patients with 15 primary and 12 metastatic liver cancers. 1) TAE was superior to TAI in tumor 100% necrosis rate. 2) TAE showed higher necrosis rate than TAI in tumors with capsule formation smaller than 2 cm. 3) Even TAE reveals no histological response in tumors with intracapsular infiltration.
