Liver cancer is not an uncommon disorder. It may be small or large. The cancer may be suitable for Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) treatment or surgery.
Cases which are inoperable are treated by chemoembolisation. It involves angiography of the liver. Then the artery which is supplying the tumor is selected and medicines are delivered into the tumor in a special manner.

Interventional Radiology is a sub-specialty of radiology that utilizes various imaging techniques to guide percutaneous microinvasive to treat various diseases.
In fact, Interventional Radiology could be termed “Pinhole Surgery” because of the small holes that are made in the skin to perform these procedures. Some of the sophisticated equipments used to do these procedures are Cath lab, Color Doppler, Laser and radiofrequency ablation equipment .Advantages to patients include less risk, less pain and shorter recovery times. Three broad categories under interventional Radiology are Vascular, Neurovascular and Non- vascular interventions.
Vascular interventions are about treatment of peripheral blood vessels like angioplasty, stenting, endovenous ablation of varicose veins, embolisations and management of vascular malformations. Neurointerventions offers endovascular treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations, intracranial aneurysms and intrarterial stroke therapy. Non vascular interventions offer biliary stent, drainage procedures, disc treatment, pain relief, and radiofrequency tumor ablation. Besides what is mentioned above Interventional Radiology encompasses many other procedures.
