The incidence of primary and metastatic liver tumors is rising and
the therapeutic armamentarium for these tumors is expanding at a
rapid pace. Surgery remains the primary treatment modality for
these tumors. With improvements in our perioperative management and
operative techniques a larger proportion of patients are able to
undergo potentially curative liver surgery. In addition,
indications and criteria for liver transplantation for both primary
and metastatic liver tumors are constantly expanding.
Unfortunately, many patients are not amendable to surgical
resection or liver transplantation and therefore alternative
liver-directed therapies are routinely being implemented as part of
complex multidisciplinary treatment models. However, these models
are continually evolving as these regional therapeutic options
continue to expand. New embolization agents and techniques, as well
as, improvements in radiation delivery, are all evolving in the
background of improvement in systemic and targeted therapy options
for these tumors. This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the
art review of the current state of liver-directed therapy for
malignant liver tumors. The book will serve as a valuable resource
for not only surgeons and clinicians but for researchers with an
interest in malignant liver tumors. The book focuses on the
therapeutic approach to primary and metastatic tumors providing an
up-to-date review on surgical liver anatomy and new imaging
techniques as well as patient selection and technical consideration
for resection and transplantation. In addition, the book provides
new insight into novel and evolving therapies in the areas of
transarterial therapy such as: (i) bland embolization, (ii)
chemoembolization, and (iii) radioembolization; as well as new
radiation techniques including SBRT and proton therapy.
Furthermore, the expanding role of hepatic artery infusion therapy
in primary malignant tumors is highlighted. Finally, integration of
all these regional therapy options with upcoming and evolving
systemic and targeted therapy regimens are integrated and
discussed. This book will serve as a very useful resource for
clinicians and researchers managing and treating patients with
these challenging malignancies. It provides a concise yet
comprehensive summary of the current status of the field that will
help guide patient management and stimulate investigative efforts.
All chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the
most up to date scientific and clinical information.
