NON-SURGERY TREATMENT METHODS OF CANCER
With Interventional Radiology, it offers the most effective options in cases where surgical intervention is not possible in many cancer types or the patient does not prefer surgery, and even the applications performed in many cancer types give results that make the patients happy.
CRYOABLATION "TUMORY FREEZE" CRYOABLATION "TUMORY FREEZE"
Cryoablation in cancer treatment is a treatment method that destroys cancer cells with extreme cold application.
During cryoablation, cryoprobes, which are hollow needles, through which cooled, thermally conductive fluids are circulated, are used. Since it is applied over the skin and directly to the cancerous tumor, the risk of damage to nearby tissues is minimal.
When the patient does not have a surgical option, non-surgical cancer is preferred as a treatment option in patients who are suitable for this procedure.
Cryoablation is also sometimes used as primary treatment for the following types of cancer:
The necessary conditions and the appropriateness of the treatment depend on the joint decision of the Interventional Radiology specialist and the oncology specialist.
-Bone cancer
-Cervical cancer
-Eye cancer
- Kidney cancer
-Liver cancer
-Lung cancer
-Prostate cancer
-Cryoablation is also used to relieve pain and other symptoms caused by cancer that has spread to the bone (bone metastasis) or other organs. Cryoablation for cancer may also be called percutaneous cryoablation, cryosurgery, or cryotherapy.

MICROWAVE ABLATION "TUMORS BURN" MICROWAVE ABLATION "TUMORS BURN"
In microwave ablation (MWA), a needle is inserted through the skin into a liver tumor, microwaves are generated from the needle to create a small heat zone, this heat destroys the cancer cells.
Microwave ablation (MWA) is an effective treatment option when surgery is not possible or for patients with tumors less than 4 cm in diameter and fewer than 5 tumors.
Who Should You Contact?
It is a method applied by experts who have specialized in Interventional Radiology and are experienced in Microwave ablation (MWA). If you are likely to be pregnant, you should inform your Interventional Radiology specialist about your chronic conditions, special medical conditions, allergies and medications.

RADIOEMBOLIZATION "RADIOEMBOLISATION"
Radiotherapy is one of the most important treatment methods in cancer treatment, but since radiation also damages the normal tissue around the tumor, its use is limited in some regions. Due to the sensitivity of normal tissue in the liver to radiation and the risk of damage to nearby organs such as the heart and spinal cord, it is often difficult to achieve the high doses required for liver tumors in classical radiotherapy. Therefore, the method of delivering radiation directly to the tumor from the vessels feeding the tumor is called Radioembolization. In radioembolization, the determined dose of radioactive material is injected directly into the tumors in the liver via angiography. As a result, both high-dose radiation is given to the tumor and normal liver tissue is preserved. It does not affect other healthy tissues.

ALCOHOL ABLATION
It is the process of injecting pure alcohol into the tumor with a fine needle, performed under local anesthesia with ultrasound or tomography; Thus, alcohol entering the cells disrupts the structure of proteins, causing the tissue there to die.
Alcohol ablation is a treatment method for cystic masses in all organs. For this, first a needle is inserted into the cyst, the fluid in it is drained, then alcohol is injected into the cyst from the same needle, the cyst wall is contracted to prevent recurrence of the cyst.
It is the process of injecting pure alcohol with a thin needle into the tumor, which is swept under local anesthesia under ultrasound or tomography, so that the alcohol entering the cells disrupts the structure of the proteins and dies of the tissue there.
Alcohol ablation is a treatment method applied to cystic masses in all organs. For this, first, a needle is inserted into the cyst, the liquid inside is drained, then alcohol is injected into the cyst from the same needle, the cyst wall is contracted and the recurrence of the cyst is prevented.

FIBROID EMBOLIZATION
Fibroid embolization is an interventional radiological procedure that is non-surgical, has a shorter hospital stay and offers the advantages of faster recovery, unlike surgical treatments such as hysterectomy and myomectomy. The main method in this procedure is to cut off the blood flow and nutrition to the myoma, to reduce the vessels feeding the benign tumors by intervening, so the aim is to eliminate or significantly reduce the patient's complaints. Related studies show that 80-90% of patients with this procedure have their complaints disappeared or decreased.
Under local anesthesia, a thin catheter is inserted through the groin into the arteries feeding the uterus and occluded particles are given. Fibroids with occluded vessels cannot be fed and become smaller as a result of tissue death, so complaints such as pain and bleeding disappear or are significantly reduced. Normal uterine tissue, on the other hand, is not affected by the embolization process as it continues to be fed from other veins in the abdomen.
The most important advantages are that it is performed with an “angiography” procedure with the help of local anesthesia, there is no surgical incision and most of the patients can leave the hospital the next day. The superiority of this method over hysterectomy is that it protects the uterus, and that it is effective not only for surgically removed fibroids, but also for all uterine fibroids.
However, like all methods, embolization therapy is successful when applied to "correctly selected" patients, and this choice should be made by interventional radiologists and obstetricians.

PROSTATE EMBOLIZATION "PROSTATE EMBOLIZATION"
PAE is a non-surgical way to treat an enlarged and distressing prostate by occlusion and shrinkage of the arteries supplying the gland. It is performed by an interventional radiologist rather than a surgeon and is an alternative to TURP (trans urethral resection of the prostate) surgery.
Treatment is only necessary if symptoms become bothersome. The PAE procedure has a lower risk of urinary incontinence and sexual side effects (reverse ejaculation or erectile dysfunction) compared to more invasive surgical procedures such as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).
The PAE procedure is for patients who are not suitable for surgery or do not prefer surgery. An examination with an interventional radiologist can determine whether you are eligible for PAE. It is decided by discussing how often you have urinary symptoms of BPH, how severe they are, and how much they affect your quality of life.
A Foley catheter (a thin, hollow tube held in place by a balloon at the end) can be inserted into your urethra and placed in your bladder to provide a reference point for the surrounding anatomy. PAE is performed by your interventional radiologist through a small catheter inserted into the artery in your wrist or groin. The catheter is then guided into the veins that supply blood to your prostate. An arteriogram (an X-ray in which dye is injected into the blood vessels) is done to map the blood vessels that feed your prostate. Small round microspheres (particles) are injected through the catheter and into the blood vessels that feed your prostate to reduce blood flow. He will move the catheter by repeating the above steps to treat the other side of your prostate. Within a few days following this procedure, the prostate begins to shrink, relieve symptoms and improve.

TAKE (TACE) TRANSARTERIAL CHEMOEMBOLIZATION "(TACE) TRANSARTERIAL CHEMOEMBOLISATION"
TAKE method in liver masses
In Interventional Radiology, TACE is a method of providing direct chemotherapy to tumors in the liver and occlusion of the vessel feeding the tumor. Here, since chemotherapy and vasoconstricting drugs are given directly to the vessel feeding the tumor, it is ensured that the tumor receives intensive chemotherapy and the vessels that feed it are closed. Also, since it is a tumor-focused application, the biggest advantage is that the whole body is not under the influence of heavy chemotherapy.
TAKE is a non-surgical procedure performed by entering from the inguinal region. This method is applied for patients with liver cancer or a mass due to cancer spread and who have not benefited from systemic chemotherapy.
Microwave and cryoablation methods are also effective non-surgical treatment methods in cancer.
