Overview

The mainstay of treatment for VIPoma is surgery. Hepatic artery embolization or transcatheter chemoembolization with doxorubicin or cisplatin is usually reserved for patients with liver metastases. Moreover, in patients with liver metastases less than 3 cm radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation can be used.
