    Liver tumors (also known as hepatic tumors) are abnormal growth of liver cells on or in the liver. Several distinct types of tumors can develop in the liver because the liver is made up of various cell types. [1] Liver tumors can be classified as benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) growths.

  3. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_arterial...

    TACE of liver tumors derives its beneficial effect by two primary mechanisms. [3] Most tumors within the liver are supplied by the proper hepatic artery, so arterial embolization preferentially interrupts the tumor's blood supply and stalls growth until neovascularization. Secondly, focused administration of chemotherapy allows for delivery of ...

    Isolated limb perfusion (often used in melanoma), [71] or isolated infusion of chemotherapy into the liver [72] or the lung have been used to treat some tumors. The main purpose of these approaches is to deliver a very high dose of chemotherapy to tumor sites without causing overwhelming systemic damage. [73]

    Transarterial bland embolization (TAE, also known as HAE) is a catheter-based tumor treatment of the liver.In this procedure, embolizing agents (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, gelfoam, acrylic copolymer gelatin particles, embospheres) can be delivered through the tumor's feeding artery in order to completely occlude the tumor's blood supply.

    It is classically marked by weight gain due to fluid retention, increased liver size, and raised levels of bilirubin in the blood. [1] The name sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is preferred if hepatic veno-occlusive disease happens as a result of chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation. [1] [2]

  9. Cavernous liver hemangioma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavernous_liver_hemangioma

    A cavernous liver hemangioma or hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor of the liver composed of large vascular spaces lined by monolayer hepatic endothelial cells.
