Cancer Treat Res. 2024:192:207-232. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-61238-1_11.

Abstract

Management of hepatic malignancies is a multidisciplinary task with the involvement of hepatologists, medical/surgical/radiation oncologists, transplant surgeons, and interventional radiologists. Patients should be selected for a specific targeted therapy after multidisciplinary consensus. Interventional oncology, with image-guided locoregional cancer therapies, can decrease systemic toxicity without compromising tumoricidal effect.
