Mechanism of action

Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is a regional delivery technique that administers oxaliplatin (a platinum-based chemotherapy agent) directly into the hepatic artery supplying liver tumors. This approach concentrates the drug at the tumor site while reducing systemic toxicity. Oxaliplatin works by forming DNA adducts that inhibit DNA replication and transcription, leading to cancer cell death.
