Interventional oncology treatments are minimally invasive procedures that effectively treat certain types of cancer.
Vascular & Interventional Specialists offers interventional oncology treatments that cause fewer side effects than radiation, chemotherapy, and other traditional cancer therapies. The providers use a catheter-based approach to deliver medications directly into the tumor to destroy cancerous cells.
The multidisciplinary team provides medical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology services in-office to treat different types of cancer in adults. They can determine if you’re a candidate for interventional therapies after reviewing your medical history, cancer type, and overall health.
You may be a candidate for the interventional oncology treatments available at Vascular & Interventional Specialists if you have tumors that aren’t treatable with surgical removal.
For instance, if you have a tumor that’s too large to remove, the providers may recommend interventional oncology treatments. In some cases, the providers can use interventional techniques to deliver medications directly into the tumor to shrink it, so surgical removal is possible.
Interventional oncology treatments are also an option for people who can’t tolerate traditional cancer surgery because of underlying illness. The minimally invasive approach may be safer than open surgery for people with tumors in delicate or hard-to-reach locations.
Because the medications go directly into the tumor, interventional oncology treatments can prevent unwanted side effects in the rest of your body. The physicians use advanced technologies to ensure the medications enter a precise location of the tumor to shrink or destroy it.
The minimally invasive treatments available at Vascular & Interventional Specialists also cause less pain and reduce the risk of infection than traditional surgery. That means you can recover faster and with fewer complications.
The providers offer interventional oncology treatments on an outpatient basis, so you can go home soon after to begin your recovery. They continue monitoring your recovery during follow-up visits to ensure your treatment works.
