Interventional Oncology Treatment

What Is Interventional Oncology?

Interventional oncology uses image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat cancer. These minimally invasive techniques offer excellent options for patients who may not be candidates for traditional open surgery, providing strong local control with faster recovery times.

Angiography DSA (Siemens Artis One)

This advanced imaging system allows doctors to perform precise catheter navigation and lesion localization. Specifically, it is commonly indicated for liver cancer, lung cancer, uterine cancer, and kidney cancer. Additionally, it is highly suitable for patients who are not suitable for surgery and require local infusion or embolization. Ultimately, doctors use it for TACE (Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization) and selective infusion therapy.

Percutaneous Thermal/Cryoablation (Ablation Therapy)

This technique uses a needle probe to heat (radiofrequency) or freeze (argon-helium knife) and destroy tumor cells. First, it is frequently used for liver cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, kidney cancer, and breast cancer. Furthermore, it is an excellent choice for patients who cannot undergo surgery or those requiring strong local control. Consequently, it serves as a highly effective minimally invasive local treatment and helps manage postoperative residual lesions.

Foraminal/Arthroscopic Systems

These systems provide a minimally invasive approach for examining or performing biopsies on spinal and joint lesions. Therefore, they are indicated for bone metastases, synovial sarcoma, and vertebral lesions. Finally, this approach is highly suitable for patients with accompanying bone diseases or those requiring decompression punctures.

Next Steps for Your Case

A hospital introduction cannot determine which care is appropriate for you. Suitability for these procedures depends on the individual case and is assessed by the treating doctors. If you would like to explore how interventional oncology can support your treatment plan, the first step is a specialist review.
