Advanced Therapeutic Interventions
Memorial Cancer Institute’s team of highly trained radiologists is on your side to help fight your cancer in many ways, including through image-guided, minimally invasive procedures known collectively as “interventional radiology.”
Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology techniques are advanced cancer treatments including:
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) — Uses image guidance and heat to destroy cancer cells
- Cryoablation — Uses image guidance and extreme cold to destroy cancer cells
- Chemoembolization — Injects chemotherapy drugs directly into the blood vessel feeding a tumor
- Port placement — Surgical insertion of a tube and disk just below the skin in the chest; used to deliver chemotherapy
- Yttrium Y-90 Radioembolization — Combines internal radiation treatment (brachytherapy) with an interventional radiology technique to block blood flow; used to destroy liver tumors
