Understanding Interventional Radiology in Liver Cancer Treatment

Radiology intervention is essential to the modern management of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma – HCC) by offering precise, minimally invasive treatments that directly target tumours while preserving healthy liver tissue. Using advanced imaging guidance such as CT scans, ultrasound, and angiography, IR procedures help cut off tumour blood supply, deliver targeted chemotherapy or radiation, and destroy cancer cells through tiny access points, resulting in less pain, fewer conditions, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

In this episode of the Interventional Radiology in Liver Cancer Podcast, we discuss when IR treatments are recommended for HCC, how procedures like chemoembolization, ablation, and radioembolization are performed, what patients can expect during recovery, and how these therapies support long-term liver health. This episode is designed to help patients and caregivers clearly understand treatment choices and feel confident about their care journey.



Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr Lakshmi Kumar, Consultant Interventional Radiologist at PACE Hospitals, Hyderabad, as he explains how image-guided, minimally invasive therapies are transforming liver cancer care offering effective treatment options with improved safety and quality of life.
