Abstract
Liver cancer (LC) is one of the most common causes of mortality and health problems worldwide. There are two main types of liver cancer: primary liver cancer, which originates in the liver (HCC, cholangio, sarcoma, etc.), and secondary liver cancer, which spreads to the liver after developing from the colon, breast, pancreas, ovaries or lungs. The treatment of neoplastic liver diseases benefits from surgical, percutaneous and endovascular procedures. This course aims to exhaustively describe all the points necessary to understand hepatic neoplastic pathology, and select, treat and subsequently follow up with patients according to the recent guidelines available. All endovascular procedures available to interventional radiologists will be described in detail, and the possible complications and their management will then be defined. The results obtained in the literature will be presented in order to understand the indications and to offer the best endovascular technique.
