NETs are known to be a highly vascular, that is they live on blood supply. Tumour embolization is a procedure to shrink a liver tumour by cutting off its blood supply. The doctors put a thin, flexible tube, called a catheter, into an artery near your groin or in your arm. He or she guides the catheter into the liver artery (the hepatic artery) that supplies blood to the tumour. So the theory is if you block the blood supply to a tumour, the tumour will reduce or die. Also known as bland liver embolization or hepatic-arterial embolization (HAE)
