Radioembolization is a technically complex and expensive technique, which has only recently entered clinical practice and is supported by scant results from phase III clinical trials, Nevertheless, it may represent a valid alternative to transarterial chemoembolizations (TACE) in the treatment of intermediate-stage HCC patients, as shown by a comparative retrospective assessment.

The obtained results show that it is possible to prepare stable Sor‐Mag‐SLNs able to inhibit cancer cell proliferation through the sorafenib cytotoxic action, and to enhance/localize this effect in a desired area thanks to a magnetically driven accumulation of the drug.
