Product Introduction
DC Bead 300/500 Injection is an embolic agent used to treat malignant, highly vascular liver tumors, including liver metastases from metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). It works by blocking the blood vessels that supply the tumor through a procedure called embolization, which cuts off the tumor's blood supply. The beads can be loaded with chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin and irinotecan, allowing targeted delivery of the medication directly to the cancer cells while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues. In some cases, treatment may not be successful even if the embolization procedure is performed without complications. Before treatment, inform your doctor about all prescription and over-the-counter medications, supplements, and any existing medical conditions. Maintaining a balanced diet during therapy is also important, as it helps your healthcare provider manage your treatment effectively and make any necessary dose adjustments based on your medical history.
Uses

How it works
