Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study was to prospectively collect clinical data from patients who underwent hepatic artery chemoembolization using microspheres with different degradation times (2 hours, 1 day, 2 weeks) based on standard treatment.
Eligibility

- ii. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with early augmentation and delayed build-up of at least one solid liver lesion \>1 ㎝.
- iii. Lesions with inconclusive features require histological confirmation.
- Patients should not be eligible for treatment by amputation or percutaneous resection or liver transplantation at the time of study enrollment.
- i. Patients who are not suitable for ablation due to lesion location may be enrolled.
- ii. Patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma who are not suitable for amputation or resection may be enrolled.
- Must be Child-Pugh A or B hepatocellular carcinoma, and must satisfy the following criteria.

Interventions
Nexsphere™ is a yellow powder, made of 100% hydrophilic gelatin. It is used to make a suspension by mixing a contrast agent and physiological saline. The indications are hepatic artery chemoembolization, uterine artery embolization, prostate artery embolization, and treatment of various hemorrhagic diseases. It physically embolizes blood vessels and is decomposed within 4-8 weeks after intravascular injection.
