The addition of locoregional treatments to immunotherapy offers an opportunity to produce a synergistic antitumor effect. This chapter summarizes existing data regarding combination immunotherapy and liver-directed treatments. Emerging concepts related to immunotherapy and image-guided interventions will be addressed.
