Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Chemotherapy in Radiology

Jennifer Joel

With fewer significant systemic side effects hepatic arterial infusion of chemotherapy (HAIC) delivers a higher local drug concentration to unresectable liver tumor. In patients with advanced, inoperable primary or metastatic hepatic tumors, it remains an important treatment option due to its higher response rates than systemic chemotherapy. Catheters for HAIC have traditionally been inserted surgically under general anesthesia. The development of interventional radiology has made it possible to quickly insert catheter-port systems under local anesthesia without significantly increasing morbidity.
