RESUMO
A large majority of primary hepatobiliary tumors are hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), with the remainer being cholangiocarcinoma. While surgical resection remains the gold standard treatment for hepatobiliary tumors, relatively few patients are operative candidates, and systemic treatments have limited effectiveness. Locoregional therapies offer significant promise in the management of HCC. Ablation and radioembolization may offer similar outcomes to surgery for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma while radioembolization and chemoembolization are valuable in the management of advanced disease. There is significantly less evidence for the role of locoregional therapy in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma, although it appears to be well tolerated.
