Chemoembolization for Lung Tumors

Chemoembolization will be performed via the artery (bronchial, non-bronchial systemic, or pulmonary) that shows the greatest tumor enhancement on angiography. Chemoembolization will be performed using a lipiodol / mitomycin emulsion, followed by spherical particles.

Mitomycin (5mg/m\^2,maximum mitomycin dose 20 mg) will be dissolved in lipiodol at 2 mg/ml on the day of procedure.

Mitomycin (5mg/m\^2,maximum mitomycin dose 20 mg) will be dissolved in lipiodol at 2 mg/ml on the day of procedure.

Embospheres are non-resorbable spherical microspheres (trisacryl gelatin) that are FDA-approved for embolization of hypervascular tumors.
