Interventional radiology procedures have wide application in hepatic cancer therapy. They are preceded by imaging techniques like CT , MRI, ultrasound, and PET. Procedures used in case of hepatic cancer include: embolization, chemoembolization, radioembolization. The purpose of this article was to describe the use of interventional radiology procedures in the treatment of tumors and hepatic metastases. Interventional radiology treatments can function as palliative care as well as they prepare the patient for surgical treatment. The expected therapy effects are, for example, tumor mass shrinkage, pathological tissue necrosis, pain relief, and improvement in quality of life. The most common method of treating liver tumors is chemoembolization. After interventional radiology procedures, there is a risk of adverse events within the liver; nevertheless, the probability of those events is far lower than for surgical procedures.
