Minimally Invasive Cancer Care

Image-guided procedures and focused radiation therapy.

Scans help map the tumor, biopsy and pathology confirm the diagnosis, and the multidisciplinary team reviews imaging, pathology and overall health before recommending an individualized plan. Not every patient needs every test or procedure.

Patient guide note: Treatment is tailored to the cancer and the patient. Educational illustrations are conceptual and are not exact device specifications or procedural guides.

01 · Imaging & Treatment Planning
🩻
Map the cancer before treatment

CT, MRI and PET-CT for Cancer Evaluation

Scans show where the tumor is, how far it has spread and how treatment may reach it. CT maps tumor size and spread, MRI shows soft tissues in detail, and PET-CT or ultrasound may be used when indicated.

CT ImagingMRIPET-CT When IndicatedTreatment Planning
✓CT can map tumor size, spread and blood-vessel relationships.
✓MRI can show soft tissues in detail, including brain, spine and liver.
✓Ultrasound or PET-CT may be used when indicated.
✓The team selects the tests needed; not every patient needs every scan.
02 · Arterial Treatment
🩸
Treat the tumor through its arteries

TACE and Embolization

A catheter reaches tumor-feeding arteries. TACE delivers chemotherapy and embolic material. TAE blocks blood flow without chemotherapy. These approaches are often used for selected liver tumors, depending on liver function and tumor features.

Catheter-BasedTumor ArteriesTACETAE
✓TACE combines chemotherapy delivery with embolization.
✓TAE blocks tumor blood flow without chemotherapy.
✓Often considered for selected liver tumors.
✓Selection depends on liver function and tumor features.
03 · Image-Guided Ablation
🔥
Destroy tumors with heat or cold

Tumor Ablation

Imaging guides a probe into the tumor. Microwave and radiofrequency ablation use heat, while cryoablation uses cold. It may be considered for selected liver, lung, kidney or bone lesions.

MicrowaveRadiofrequencyCryoablationImage Guided
✓Often best suited to smaller, accessible tumors.
✓May be used for selected liver, lung, kidney or bone lesions.
✓Imaging is used to guide the probe into the target.
✓Risks can include bleeding and injury to nearby structures.
04 · Internal Radiation
☢️
Radiation from inside the target

Radioactive Seed Implantation

Tiny radioactive seeds, such as iodine-125, are placed in or near a tumor using image-guided needles. Permanent seeds release radiation that decreases over time.

Iodine-125BrachytherapyImage-Guided NeedlesInternal Radiation
✓Established for selected prostate cancers.
✓Other tumor sites require specialist assessment.
✓Seeds are positioned in or near the target.
✓Patients should follow individualized radiation-safety instructions.
05 · Bone Stabilization
🦴
Stabilize a weakened vertebra

Bone Cement: Vertebroplasty

Image guidance directs a needle into a weakened vertebra and medical-grade cement hardens inside the bone. It may be used for selected painful vertebral fractures caused by cancer.

Image GuidedBone CementVertebral SupportPain Management
✓May reduce pain and improve mobility in selected patients.
✓Supports a weakened vertebra but does not replace cancer treatment.
✓Medical-grade cement hardens inside the bone.
✓Cement leakage is a key procedural risk.
06 · Focused Brain Radiation
🎯
Focus radiation on a brain target

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

Focused gamma-ray beams converge on an intracranial target without a surgical incision. It may be used for selected brain metastases and other intracranial tumors.

No Surgical IncisionFocused RadiationBrain TargetsMRI Follow-up
✓Suitability depends on target size, location and overall health.
✓It is non-invasive radiation therapy.
✓Swelling or radiation injury can occur.
✓Follow-up MRI remains important after treatment.
🧪
Biopsy & PathologyTissue diagnosis, IHC and biomarker testing can help define the cancer.
