interventional
The specialty of treating cancer through interventional radiology is tumor treatment procedures using minimally invasive tools.
Image guidance is used in conjunction with the latest innovations available to treat cancerous tumors while minimizing potential injury to other organs of the body.
Most patients who undergo these procedures are clinic patients, meaning they will not need to stay in the hospital after treatment and may require an overnight stay in the hospital.
Some of these treatments are regional, such as when cancers involving several areas of the liver are treated using chemoembolization or radioembolization.
Others are better classified as local or focal, such as when lesions in the kidney, liver, lung, and bone are treated by cryoablation, microwave ablation, or radiofrequency.In general, these techniques are strictly reserved for patients whose cancer cannot be removed surgically or cannot be treated effectively with chemotherapy.
This method is also frequently used in conjunction with other treatments provided by other specialists on the cancer treatment team.
