• By placing a small catheter from the blood vessel in your groin into the artery that supplies blood to the liver.?- The chemotherapeutic drug(s) are then delivered through the catheter along with a blood vessel occluding agent right at the site of the tumour.
• The anticancer drugs are attached to small beads that are injected into an artery that feeds the tumour. 
• The beads block blood flow to the tumour as they release the drug. 
• This allows a higher amount of drug to reach the tumour for a longer period of time, which may kill more cancer cells. 
• It also causes fewer side effects because very little of the drug reaches other parts of the body.
