Abstract

The field of interventional radiology has become an integral contributor in the multidisciplinary oncological treatment of numerous solid tumors in the adult population, especially hepatic malignancies. With continued growth and sophistication in the field of pediatric interventional radiology, interventional oncology (IO) principles and techniques are increasingly applied to children. While primary pediatric hepatic malignancies are less frequent than in the adult population, application of these IO principles and modalities in adults is becoming more commonplace. This article reviews the increasing application of these IO principles and modalities for the treatment of primary pediatric hepatic malignancy, as well as their role in the multidisciplinary care of children afflicted with these diseases.
