Area of Science:

  • Hepatology and Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Rising global incidence of chronic liver disease, particularly viral hepatitis, correlates with increased hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rates.
  • A significant patient population with HCC is ineligible for surgical resection or liver transplantation.
  • Radiological interventions are crucial for managing HCC in non-surgical candidates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in radiological treatment modalities for hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • To compare the relative merits and demerits of current interventional radiology techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current radiological treatment modalities for HCC.
  • Discussion of advancements in percutaneous ethanol ablation, radiofrequency ablation, and trans-arterial chemoembolization.
  • Comparative analysis of technique efficacy and limitations.

Main Results:

  • Radiology is integral to HCC diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.
  • Percutaneous ethanol ablation, radiofrequency ablation, and trans-arterial chemoembolization are key palliative radiological treatments.
  • Recent advancements offer improved outcomes and options for HCC management.

Conclusions:

  • Radiological treatments are vital for managing hepatocellular carcinoma in patients unable to undergo surgery or transplantation.
  • Ongoing advancements in ablation and chemoembolization techniques are expanding therapeutic options.
  • A comparative understanding of these modalities is essential for optimal patient care.
