Interventional Radiology in Cancer Management

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses image guidance to perform minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment. IR plays a crucial role in cancer management by providing targeted therapies, reducing complications, and improving patient outcomes. Procedures may involve tumor ablation, embolization, biopsies, drainage, or catheter-based treatments.

Key Applications in Oncology:

  • Tumor Ablation: Techniques such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), or cryoablation target cancerous tissue directly while sparing surrounding structures.

  • Embolization: Blocking blood flow to tumors (e.g., transarterial chemoembolization) to reduce tumor growth and control bleeding.

  • Biopsy Guidance: Image-guided needle biopsies allow precise tissue sampling for diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.

  • Pediatric Interventions: Minimally invasive procedures adapted for children with tumors or vascular anomalies.

  • Patient-Specific Treatments: Tailoring interventions based on tumor size, location, and imaging characteristics, optimizing outcomes and minimizing side effects.
