In many people's eyes,once diagnosed with a tumor,there seem to be only two paths:either surgery,or medication(such as chemotherapy,targeted drugs, etc.).But in fact,medical development is no longer"black or white"multiple choice question,Today there is a type of treatment that neither requires surgery,nor fails to precisely strike tumors,and is increasingly entering the public'sfield of vision,that is--tumorMinimally invasive interventiontreatment.
What is"interventional treatment"?and surgery,medication have whatnosame?
Simply put,Minimally invasive interventiontreatmentisnosurgery'spremise,using puncture,catheters or other instruments,entering the body through blood vessels or the body surface,performinglocal precision treatment'smethod.
Here are examples to make it clear:
* cardiac stent placement's,is cardiac intervention.
* uterine fibroid treatmentembolization's,is gynecological intervention.
* and performingtumorperfusion,embolization,ablationetc.treatment's,istumorinterventional therapy.

tumorwhat are the main interventional methods?
tumorinterventional treatmentno是"Imethods",but ratherIa complete set of methods,according totumorpatientsnosamelesions,location and patient condition, used in combination.common'smethods include:
01tumorembolization
tumorembolizationtreatmentmost classic'sMinimally invasive interventionmethods —I,especially in liver cancertreatmentwidely applied in.the doctor punctures a peripheral artery,把Iand threads a cathetertotumorto the feeding artery,first injectingchemotherapychemotherapy drugs,then using"embolic agents"to blocktumorthe blood supply,like givingtumor"a famine+and poison"— a two-step,efficacyno错.commonly used for:primary liver cancer,liver metastases,pelvictumorhemorrhageetc..
02arterialperfusion(HAIC)
arterialperfusion是localinjecting anti-cancer drugs,但noand sealing blood vessels.it delivers high-concentration,targeted"灌"药,concentrated killing power with low toxic side effects.suitable forI些nosurgical candidates,with tumor thrombus,tumorheavy tumor burden'stumorpatients,currently clinically recommended asI线treatment之I.
03ablationtreatment(microwave ablation,radiofrequency ablation,cryoablation)
ablationtreatmentthese methods use a needle totumor"Scalding to Death"or"freeze to death".the doctor, underCTor ultrasound guidance,把ablationinserts the needle intotumor,then activates energy,causing tissuelocalto heat up(or cool down),Fromthereby causingtumortumor cell necrosis.suitable for liver,肺,肾,骨etc.small solidtumor,minimal trauma,fast recovery.
04radioactiveseed implantation
radioactiveseed implantationtreatmentwithcan be understood as"在tumorplanting insideIminiature nuclear bombs".Seedsreleasing continuous radiation,Frominternally"照"tumor,nowithout damaging surrounding tissue.used forI些nosurgical candidates,special location'stumor,such as lung cancer,prostate cancer,head and necktumoretc..
05drainageandstenttreatment
drainageandstenttreatmentthese tend to be more"supportive",for example:
* tumortumor compressing the esophagus causing obstruction and inability to eat:placing an esophageal stent to keep the esophagus clear.
* tumorcompressing the bile duct causing jaundice:placing a biliary stent for drainage.
* tumorcompressing the ureter:placing a nephrostomy tube.
* refractory ascites:peritoneal drainage+localchemotherapy.
althoughnocan directly"eliminatetumor",but can greatly improve quality of life,and relieve suffering.
tumorinterventional treatmentwhat are the advantages?
compared to traditional surgery or radiationchemotherapy,Minimally invasive interventiontreatmentthere are severaldoes not meanvery prominent'sadvantages:
1minimally invasive:small incision,less bleeding,Iusually only the size of a puncture needle.
2fast recovery:Post-operativelymost patients get out of bed the same day orIIthe next day.
3repeatable:when the condition requires,withmultiple procedures,nowithout affecting subsequenttreatment.
4localefficient:especially suitable for single or localized lesions,precise targeting.
5flexible combination:能andTumor hyperthermia,targeted therapy,immunotherapyetc.treatmentcombined with,improving efficacy.
which patients are suitableMinimally invasive interventiontreatment?
withthe following situations'spatients,consider adoptMinimally invasive interventiontreatment:
* high surgical risk,或nowilling to undergo surgery.
* 对radiotherapy,chemotherapypoor tolerance.
* tumorspecial location(such as the hepatic hilum,pulmonary hilum).
* inlocalprogressive stage,difficult to control'ssituations.
* wanting to relieve symptoms,improves quality of life.
such as:mid-to-late stage liver cancer,lung cancer with bone metastasis,cervical cancerlocalrecurrence,biliary obstructive jaundice,esophagealtumorobstructionetc.,all areMinimally invasive interventiontreatment's"specialty procedures".
