Figure 5
Temporal evolution of tumour cell number following TACE in 50 representative patients. TACE is applied at \(t=0\) and results in the rapid necrosis of both, proliferating (red line) and quiescent (green line) tumour cells. This is followed by a period of time during which very few, or no tumour cells have survived (grey region). Those patients in whom tumour regrowth is almost certain are represented with vertical dashed grey lines, the locations of which indicate time-points at which treatment failure is predicted to occur.
