How To Treat Neuroendocrine Tumors

Embolization

It's extremely common for a neuroendocrine tumor to metastasize into the liver. Liver metastasis is an important factor when determining the prognosis for a patient, and patients with liver metastasis may have a severely impaired quality of life. Embolization is a therapy used in patients whose neuroendocrine tumors have metastasized to the liver and is employed when patients cannot undergo surgery. Trans-arterial embolization is a common technique that selectively infuses particles into whatever artery branch is feeding the tumor's lesions. This technique has been shown to reduce the size of tumors and hormone output.
