Anne Covey, MD, interventional radiologist, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses options for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who cannot undergo resection or transplant. Covey says this group of patients is around 80% of those diagnosed with HCC, and the most common form of therapy is locoregional treatment, or therapy targeted to the liver.

Covey says some beneficial locoregional therapies offered to patients with HCC are bland embolization, chemoembolization, radioembolization, embolization with drug-eluding beads, and ablation.
