What does tumor interventional therapy mean specifically?

Tumor interventional therapy is a newly emerged clinical interdisciplinary medicine in the 1980s. Interventional medicine is to use puncture needles, catheters and other instruments, with the assistance of imaging equipment, such as X-ray, B-ultrasound, CT and other imaging equipment, to percutaneous puncture the scope of tumor through puncture needles or catheters, to carry out drug injection treatment and extract tumor tissue. A series of operational treatments such as intratumor drainage were performed. As for interventional therapy, it mainly includes endovascular intervention, non-endovascular intervention and various stent treatments.

Interventional therapy has the advantages of accurate positioning, clear curative effect, good repeatability and minimally invasive treatment. The biggest therapeutic advantage of interventional therapy lies in its small side effects and few complications, which has been developed in recent years and plays an irreplaceable role in the treatment of malignant tumors.
