Safety and efficacy outcomes of embolization in hepatic sarcomas
American Journal of Roentgenology Nov 10, 2017
Pierce DB, et al. - Physicians designed this study to assess liver-directed transcatheter therapies for the treatment of hepatic sarcomas. Liver-directed transcatheter therapies were found to be safe. These therapies could have a role in the elective management of unresectable primary and metastatic liver sarcomas. For ruptured gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), emergency embolization could be effective for stabilizing the patient's condition and allowing more definitive therapy in the future. Emergency embolization, however, had limited efficacy in treating patients with ruptured angiosarcoma, likely due to substantial venous bleeding at rupture and the aggressive behavior of this lesion.
