title: [Focal liver lesions in oncology].
abstract: In order to improve management of oncologic patients, a standardized 5-step approach should be considered: detection, characterization, locoregional and systemic staging, and post treatment follow up. The use of imaging techniques will be adapted to the clinical question at hand during multi-disciplinary review of cases. The role of the radiologist is to review the indications for each imaging modality and incorporate the results in the clinical context.
