The session is focused on evaluating various liver ablation techniques to determine the best approach within the multidisciplinary framework of interventional oncologic radiology and radiation therapy. Experts from interventional radiology, radiation oncology, and oncology share their insights and review the available evidence on the most commonly utilised liver ablation techniques, and discuss the benefits and limitations of these techniques, considering factors such as tumour size, location, proximity to critical structures, but also efficacy, safety, treatment outcomes, and patient-specific considerations. The advancement in imaging-guided radiological ablation techniques as percutaneous thermal and transarterial chemo- and radio-ablative techniques, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) are highlighted, also addressing the potential of combination therapies as an additional treatment arsenal for clinicians. The audience will recognise that integrating interventional oncologic radiology and radiation therapy into a comprehensive therapeutic framework will determine an optimisation of liver ablation techniques, tailor treatment strategies to individual patients, and consolidate evidence to refine treatment guidelines.
