How does it work?
A millimetric catheter inserted through the groin vessel is advanced under imaging guidance to the artery feeding the tumor. The drug is delivered directly to the tumor (concentrated effect, low systemic side effects) and the feeding vessel is blocked, starving the tumor. With hyperthermia, tumor cells are weakened by heat.
- No general anesthesia, no incision
- Focused on recurrence & metastasis
- Combined with hyperthermia and immunotherapy
Who is it for?
- Liver and lung-focused metastases
- Recurrences unresponsive to chemotherapy
