Interventional Radiation Oncology Hospital in Goa

Interventional oncology is a key pillar in cancer treatment, focusing on minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat various types of tumours. Key procedures include:

  • Transarterial Chemoembolisation (TACE): This procedure delivers chemotherapy directly to liver tumours through a catheter in the hepatic artery, enhancing drug concentration at the tumour site while minimizing systemic exposure.

  • Transarterial Radioembolisation (TARE): Involves injecting tiny radioactive beads into the hepatic artery to target and destroy cancer cells in the liver.

  • Portal Vein Embolization: Selective embolization of the portal vein's branches to redirect blood flow and induce hypertrophy in the liver lobe not affected by cancer.

  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) and Microwave Ablation (MWA): These techniques use heat to destroy cancerous tissues, commonly applied to liver tumours and benign bone lesions.

  • Tumour Biopsy: Obtaining tissue samples from tumours using image-guided techniques for accurate diagnosis.

  • Drainage of Collections: Removing fluid accumulations caused by tumours or infections.

  • Multinodular goitre: Microwave and radiofrequency ablation.
