Interventional oncology

Image-guided core biopsies provide tissue samples for diagnosis and molecular analysis, helping to identify the most effective treatments.

Destroys tumors using heat (radiofrequency or microwave ablation), cold (cryoablation), bronchoscopic Nd-YAG laser, or electrical pulses (NanoKnife®/irreversible electroporation, IRE). Commonly used for liver, kidney, lung and bone tumors. NanoKnife is especially useful for tumors near critical structures where traditional ablation may pose a risk.

Delivers chemotherapy directly to a tumor’s blood supply, cutting off nutrients while limiting systemic side effects. Often used after Y90 for liver tumors.

Injects tiny beads containing radiation directly into the blood vessels feeding a liver tumor. Allows for targeted radiation delivery.

HIPEC/PIPAC delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity after tumor removal surgery to target microscopic cancer cells. Used to treat select abdominal cancers, HIPEC/PIPAC can reduce recurrence and improve outcomes when performed in collaboration with surgical oncology.

Infuses chemotherapy or other therapies directly into the affected organ using image-guided catheter placement. This includes intrahepatic chemotherapy pumps that deliver continuous medication directly to the liver over time — maximizing the local effect while minimizing systemic exposure.

Interventional approaches can relieve pain, fluid buildup or other symptoms, and divert blockages within important tubes, ducts and blood vessels — improving quality of life for patients at any stage of care.

Placement of central line catheters used to secure systemic therapy delivery into the appropriate blood vessel.
