[Chemoperfusion and embolization in the treatment of liver metastases]
Abstract:
Presentation of techniques and procedures for regional chemotherapy in the treatment of unresectable liver metastases from different primary tumors as a modality of interdisciplinary therapy management. Such transarterial therapy methods include hepatic arterial infusion (HAI), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), chemoembolization with cytostatic-loaded microspheres (DEBs), transarterial embolization (TAE) and selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). Regional chemotherapy procedures in the treatment of liver metastases represent a minimally invasive treatment option that can be successfully combined with surgical resection and/or radiofrequency (RFA), laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT), microwave ablation (MWA). These procedures allow optimization of the local control rate with strictly intrahepatic processes and lead to increased survival rates without any quality of life restriction.
