Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolization). These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat tumours in the liver — most commonly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and selected liver metastases. An interventional radiologist threads a thin catheter through an artery in the groin or wrist and guides it to the blood vessels feeding the tumour. Chemotherapy drugs and tiny blocking particles are then injected directly into those vessels, attacking the tumour with a high concentration of anti-cancer drug while simultaneously cutting off its blood supply. Because the drug is trapped at the tumour site, far less reaches the rest of the body than with standard intravenous chemotherapy. TACE is typically delivered as a series of sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart, with follow-up CT or MRI scans used to assess the tumour's response after each cycle.
Chemotherapy mixed with an oily carrier (lipiodol) is injected into the tumour's artery, followed by small particles that block the vessel and trap the drug at the tumour site.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Multiphase CT scan or MRI of liver (tumour mapping), Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) tumour marker, Liver function tests (LFT), Kidney function tests (KFT / serum creatinine), Full blood count (CBC), Coagulation profile (PT/INR), Hepatitis B and C serology, ECG and anaesthetic fitness assessment. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,000 – $6,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
Total stay: approx 15 days
Tiny beads pre-loaded with chemotherapy are injected into the tumour's artery; they block the vessel and slowly release the drug over hours to days for a more sustained, controlled dose.
