Locoregional techniques have become the mainstay of therapy for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These include catheter-based approaches and locoregional ablative techniques. These therapies are mainly utilized for palliation, but have also been used with curative intent. This review outlines the current status of the most commonly used image-guided loco-regional interventions for the treatment of HCC, and describes recent research and advances related to image-guided interventions for HCC.
