- Tumor Chemoembolization
Tumor chemoembolization is a minimally invasive cancer treatment that delivers chemotherapy drugs directly to a tumor while simultaneously blocking its blood supply. This targeted approach helps maximize tumor control while minimizing effects on healthy tissues.
At Vascular Care Clinic, tumor chemoembolization is performed using advanced image-guided interventional radiology techniques, offering an effective treatment option for select liver and other solid tumors.
Each case is carefully evaluated using imaging studies to identify the tumor’s blood supply and plan a precise, personalized treatment strategy.
Tumor chemoembolization is performed by Dr. Ankit Shah (MD, FNVIR), Consultant Interventional Radiologist, using advanced imaging guidance to ensure precise treatment delivery, improve tumor control, and enhance patient quality of life.
