Re: Anyone chemo-embolization to liver??

Rich I did not research the adria on her2 or indeed on any breast cancer cells. It was my radiologist choice for that procedure for BC at least. But for sure it is a powerful treatment since it can be applied locally with quite minimal effect (relatively speaking). For me its effect was excellent on still relatively well differentiated cancer cell (almost 1st line of treatment) and expected synergy with systemic chemo. If you never had adria jml it is much more likely to work too especially directly placed on tumours, so all the best with this new door.
