While embolization therapy has been used for many years in the treatment of nonmalignant diseases of the chest, such as pulmonary arteriovenous malformation treatment and bronchial artery embolization for hemorrhage, the application of transarterial techniques to the treatment of chest neoplasms is relatively uncommon. Extrapolating from transarterial chemoembolization techniques used for liver malignancy, investigators have recently sought to expand the indications for transarterial techniques from the control of symptoms such as bleeding to the control of disease progression and potentially survival benefit in patients with malignancies in the chest. This article provides an overview of the current embolotherapy techniques used in the treatment of patients with thoracic malignancies.
虽然栓塞疗法多年来一直用于治疗胸部非恶性疾病，如肺动静脉畸形的治疗和支气管动脉栓塞治疗出血，但经动脉技术在胸部肿瘤治疗中的应用相对少见。从用于治疗肝脏恶性肿瘤的经动脉化疗栓塞技术推断，研究人员最近试图将经动脉技术的适应证从控制出血等症状扩大到控制疾病进展，并可能使胸部恶性肿瘤患者受益于生存。本文概述了目前用于治疗胸部恶性肿瘤患者的栓塞治疗技术。
