Interventional radiology provides local and loco-regional treatments for liver metastases. This review evaluates interstitial ablation methods and vascular techniques for anti-tumour drug delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Liver metastases present significant therapeutic challenges.
  • Interventional radiology offers advanced local and loco-regional treatment strategies.
  • Effective drug delivery is crucial for managing liver tumours.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate interstitial ablation techniques for liver metastases.
  • To analyze loco-regional vascular approaches for anti-tumour drug delivery.
  • To provide a literature-based overview of interventional radiology treatments for liver metastases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of interstitial ablation methods: radiofrequency ablation, laser-induced thermotherapy, CT-guided brachytherapy.
  • Analysis of loco-regional vascular techniques: intra-arterial chemotherapy via port systems, transarterial chemoembolization.

Main Results:

  • Interstitial ablation methods offer image-guided, localized tumour destruction.
  • Vascular techniques enable targeted delivery of anti-tumour agents to the liver.
  • Both approaches represent minimally invasive therapeutic options.

Conclusions:

  • Interventional radiology provides effective local and loco-regional treatment options for liver metastases.
  • Image-guided interstitial ablation and vascular-based drug delivery are key therapeutic modalities.
  • Further research can optimize these minimally invasive strategies.
