Onco Interventions
What Are Onco-Interventions?
Onco-interventions are specialized procedures designed to treat tumors or relieve complications caused by cancer using image-guided techniques. These treatments allow doctors to target the affected area precisely while minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
They are commonly used to:
- Control tumor growth
- Deliver targeted therapy directly to tumors
- Relieve organ obstruction
- Reduce pain or infection
- Improve patient comfort and quality of life
How Onco-Interventions Are Performed
- Imaging guidance identifies the treatment area.
- Local anesthesia is administered.
- A needle or catheter is inserted through a small skin puncture.
- Targeted treatment or drainage is performed.
Most procedures are completed within 1–2 hours.
