Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Interventional radiology (IR) is increasingly utilized as a less invasive and more cost-effective alternative to conventional surgery.
  • IR procedures are associated with lower morbidity and mortality rates compared to traditional surgical interventions.
  • A subset of patients with solid tumors experience complications treatable by IR, such as urinary, biliary, or esophageal obstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe current interventional radiology procedures for managing complications of solid tumors.
  • To discuss the appropriate clinical scenarios for employing these interventional techniques.
  • To highlight emerging techniques in percutaneous tumor ablation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of interventional radiology techniques for managing hollow viscus obstruction.
  • Description of procedures for urinary tract, biliary tract, and esophageal obstruction.
  • Discussion of percutaneous tumor ablation methods.

Main Results:

  • Interventional radiology effectively relieves obstructions in the urinary, biliary, and esophageal tracts.
  • Percutaneous tumor ablation techniques are under development for solid tumors.
  • These minimally invasive approaches are becoming more common and complex.

Conclusions:

  • Interventional radiology provides valuable, less invasive treatment options for specific oncological emergencies.
  • The scope of interventional radiology is expanding, with percutaneous tumor ablation poised for future growth.
