Hello,
Your question is whether chemoembolization may cure liver cancer. Your question however, is very general. There are several tumor types that may appear in the liver. These include hepatoma (primary liver cancer) or a variety of tumors that may begin elsewhere in the body but travel to the liver. Many of these tumors may be treated with chemoembolization for palliation or control of the tumor in the liver, but is not a curative procedure.

Difficult to cure liver cancer but can delay growth. This is best addressed by an oncologist.
