“…The safety and effectiveness of cryoablation for the treatment of malignant tumors have been demonstrated by various animal experiments and clinical trials. 19 The successful local control of hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases from other primary tumors (eg, breast cancer) has demonstrated the effectiveness of this safe and reliable technique. 20,21 A study by Zhang et al 22 demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of hepatic cryoablation for the treatment of liver metastases from breast cancer and resulted in the improved quality of patients' life with unresectable cancers.…”

“…In this procedure the arterial blood supply of the lesion is embolized in order to induce necrosis and a chemotherapeutic agent is administered selectively to the lesion (Qian 2011 ). In the conventional procedure a mixture of a cytotoxic drug emulsifi ed with ethiodized oil (known as Lipiodol or Ethiodol), which is radiopaque, is injected into the arterial branch supplying the lesion.…”

“…Complications are infrequent, with the total reported complication rate ranging from 7.7 to 8.9 %. Most of these are minor complications (Qian 2011 ;Vogl et al 2013 ). Insuffi cient attention has been given to the actual hepatic complication rate which is unclear.…”

“…The most available information regarding complications is from reports of RF ablation, MW ablation, and ethanol injection techniques. LITT is much less frequently used and is mostly experimental (Qian 2011 ;Eichler et al 2012 ). The preferred modality for imaging after ablation is either contrastenhanced CT or MR. Abscess formation after ablative treatments is rare with a reported incidence of less than 1 % and in some studies as low as 0.3 %.…”

AbstractA precise knowledge of antineoplastic drugs is an indispensable basis for the care of patients with cancer. The mechanisms of action and resistance, cross-resistance patterns, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, pharmacological interaction, and last but not least potential adverse effects should be part of this knowledge. As contemporary cancer care requires interdisciplinary and multiprofessional structures, the radiologist is an important a...
