Abstract

Personalized medicine is revolutionizing oncologic care. Molecular and imaging “fingerprinting” of cancer through genomics, radiomics, and radiogenomics has allowed for the meticulous characterization of many forms of malignancy, including primary liver cancers. With this data, treatments are being developed that precisely target and exploit key variations in individual tumors. As these methods continue to evolve, interventional oncologists are well positioned to capitalize on the advances being made. This article will provide a concise overview of the genomic, radiomic, and radiogenomic research on hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, in addition to discussions on how precision medicine would relate to interventional oncology.
