Abstract

Interventional radiology offers a variety of treatment options for liver tumors. Depending on the tumor entity and the extent of the disease, patients can be treated with a curative or palliative intent. In order to make a decision on the best course of treatment for the individual patient, knowledge about the possible therapies and their limitations is essential. The aim of this article is a structured listing of targeted radiological therapies for the treatment of liver tumors and an overview of the specific technical aspects and possible limitations. This study involved a selective literature search as well as personal experiences in interventional radiological treatment of liver tumors. The wide range of available therapies requires an individual assessment of each patient taking the achievable results into account. The decision for an interventional radiological therapy should be made in an interdisciplinary tumor board.
