Interventional Oncology
Tumour treatment using image-guided techniques inside the body, without open surgery.
What is this procedure?
Interventional oncology combines interventional radiology expertise with oncology. Multiple techniques are used to reach and treat the tumour directly from within, with high precision and minimal effect on surrounding healthy tissue.
Why interventional radiology?
Image-guided treatment offers a therapeutic option for patients who are not surgical candidates or who prefer to avoid surgery. It can be used alongside chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
How the procedure works
Before
- Case review with the multidisciplinary team
- Preparation by reviewing recent imaging
- Stopping certain medications before the procedure as directed
During
- Procedure under local or general anaesthesia depending on the case
- Precise imaging guidance to reach the tumour
- Application of the appropriate treatment (ablation, embolisation, radiation)
After & Recovery
- Close monitoring in the first hours
- Follow-up imaging within a few weeks to assess response
- Coordination with the oncologist for continuation of the treatment plan
Who is this for?
- Cancer patients who are not surgical candidates
- Patients seeking a less invasive alternative
- Cases where treatment is used as part of a comprehensive plan
Suitability is confirmed after a full clinical assessment — this information does not replace a medical consultation.
