Bland embolization or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)

Posted by sophiarose @sophiarose, Jan 10, 2023

In Dec of 2019 I had grade 2 NET with Ki-67 of 7% tumors removed from my liver
According to my surgeon they are behaving like grade 2 NET and the chance that they are something other than NET is zero.
Thursday I am having a liver embolization done the radiologist wants to do a biopsy
Why???
My fear is that something can go wrong so why do it if nothing will be different from 2019
Has anyone else ever had a biopsy done where the tumor changed
Please advise

Yes. After my second embolization too. Just hang in there. Your liver is fighting all the chemicals. It took a month But it is worth it
