Abstract
Currently, in the treatment of the patients with HCC in the vast majority of cases, interventional radiological (IR) technologies are used. Locoregional technologies can be applied practically at all stages of the treatment of the patients with HCC. The performance of a particular IR intervention depends on the prevalence of the tumor lesion, the patient’s somatic status and the stage of the treatment. The most important are the IR techniques used as a special antitumor treatment, one of which is transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Modern medical institutions have the main arsenal of therapeutic methods (including locoregional) and the choice of method of the treatment in each specific case largely depends on the technological capabilities of the clinic and the clinical experience of physicians. Despite the fact that locoregional techniques have been performed for quite a long period of time, an optimal algorithm for their application in the treatment of patients with HCC has not yet been developed.
Today, interventional radiological technologies used as locoregional therapy allow to expand the possibilities of potentially radical methods of the treatment (resection, liver transplantation) and to conduct special antitumor treatment in the majority of inoperable patients with HCC.
