Interventional Oncology
Interventional oncology is a specialized field within radiology that focuses on minimally invasive procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It involves techniques such as image-guided biopsies, tumor ablations (destruction), and embolizations (blocking blood flow to tumors). These procedures offer less invasive alternatives to traditional surgical methods, often resulting in quicker recovery times and reduced risk to the patient. Interventional oncology plays a vital role in the comprehensive management of cancer, providing options for diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care for cancer patients.
