TALKING HOPE: What is interventional radiology and how does it benefit patients with cancer?
Channel: OC Talk Radio
Date: 2024-03-30

On this week's edition of TALKING HOPE, we learn how interventional radiology is an advanced, innovative specialty that is transforming cancer treatment. Through minimally invasive, image-guided diagnoses and treatments, interventional radiologists are able to obtain biopsies, ablate tumors, open blocked vessels, and deliver medications directly to disease sites as an alternative to open surgery. Jason Salsamendi, M.D., Lead Interventional Radiologist, City of Hope Orange County, spoke with us about the wide range of needs interventional radiology can address, its role in fully integrated, multidisciplinary cancer care, and the many advantages it offers patients.
