Minimal-invasive ablation techniques offer effective treatment for liver tumors when surgery or chemotherapy fail. Proper application ensures high efficacy with low complication rates for these advanced therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Surgical resection and chemotherapy have limited success for primary and secondary hepatic tumors.
  • Minimal-invasive ablation techniques are increasingly important for liver tumor treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the landscape of local ablative methods for hepatic tumors.
  • To highlight the efficacy and safety of these techniques within multimodality therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of chemoablative techniques: percutaneous alcohol instillation, transarterial chemoembolization.
  • Overview of thermoablative techniques: radiofrequency, laser, microwave, cryoablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound.
  • Overview of radioablative techniques: interstitial brachytherapy, selective internal radiotherapy.

Main Results:

  • Various local ablative methods demonstrate wide variations in implementation and specific effects.
  • All reviewed methods show high therapeutic efficacy when applied correctly.
  • These techniques are associated with a low complication rate under correct application.

Conclusions:

  • Knowledge of specific indications and contraindications is crucial for effective implementation.
  • Minimal-invasive ablation techniques are vital components of multimodality liver tumor therapy.
  • These methods provide effective treatment options for patients with limited success from traditional therapies.
