## TL;DR

This paper discusses the use of interventional radiology for treating rare liver metastases in thyroid cancer, emphasizing the need for careful patient selection.

## Contribution

The paper highlights the role of interventional radiology in managing thyroid cancer liver metastases within a multidisciplinary approach.

## Key findings

- Interventional radiological treatments are effective for controlling or palliating thyroid cancer liver metastases.
- Successful treatment requires careful patient selection and a multidisciplinary approach.

## Abstract

The finding of liver metastases in thyroid cancer is relatively uncommon. Treatment is complex and depends on several factors, including location, number and size of lesions, associated symptoms, extrahepatic disease and patient’s condition. In this context, interventional radiological treatments have been successfully used to optimize disease control or for palliative purposes and have generally been well tolerated. However, careful selection of candidates for such procedures in a multidisciplinary context is crucial.
