LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Discuss the role of the interventional radiologist in the treatment and management of patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer as part of the multidisciplinary team. 2) Learn best practice techniques in the treatment of liver cancers, with emphasis on both locoregional and focal therapeutic approaches, and indications for treatment. 3) Explore various tips and tricks for each treatment modality and learn how to avoid complications through good patient selection, choosing the appropriate techniques, and knowing what common mistakes to avoid. 4) Learn about newer and developing techniques and devices, their potential roles and indications, and potential pitfalls. 5) Explore advanced imaging modalities in the detection of tumors and for monitoring treatment response.

ABSTRACT

Primary and metastatic liver disease may benefit from combined techniques such as bland/chemoembolization and liver ablation. The presentation will provide the rationale for the association of techniques, patient selection, tips and tricks, equipment and supplies necessary, protective techniques and how to avoid complications. Also, it will be discussed the results and current literature to support the association of techniques.
