[Angiographic image of neoplastic metastases to the liver]

Patterns of angiographic images of neoplastic metastases in the liver have been evaluated in 41 patients the cancer of various organs. It has been demonstrated that metastatic focuses showed vascularization independent from the histological tumor type. Metastases of the pancreatic adenocarcinoma were characterized by extremely poor vascularization. However, criteria enabling the determination of the primary neoplastic focus localization or of the cancer histological type based on the angiographic imaging of metastases in the liver have not been found.
