Zusammenfassung

Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Vorstellung interventioneller Therapieverfahren wie transarterielle Chemoembolisation (TACE), selektive interne Radiotherapie (SIRT), Radiofrequenzablation (RFA), laserinduzierte Thermotherapie (LITT) und Mikrowellenablation (MWA) für die palliative Therapie von malignen primären Lebertumoren wie dem hepatozellulären Karzinom (HCC) und dem intrahepatischen Cholangiokarzinom (ICC). Da zum Zeitpunkt der Diagnosestellung viele Patienten mit einem HCC oder ICC als inoperabel eingestuft werden, stellen die interventionell-onkologischen Verfahren neben der systemischen Chemotherapie wichtige Therapieformen dar. Erläutert werden die allgemeinen technischen Grundlagen dieser Verfahren sowie die jeweiligen Einsatzbereiche und Voraussetzungen. Neben den Vorteilen und Resultaten wird auch auf die Kontraindikationen, Komplikationen und Nebenwirkungen eingegangen.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present interventional therapy methods, such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) and microwave ablation (MWA) for palliative therapy of primary malignant liver tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). At the time of diagnosis many patients with HCC and ICC do not have resectable tumors and in addition to systematic chemotherapy locoregional therapies become important alternative therapy options in the field of interventional oncology. The basic principles of these interventions, the respective application area and conditions are defined. In addition the advantages of the methods, results and also contraindications, complications and possible side effects are discussed.
