Interventional Oncology
Interventional oncology is a patient-friendly approach to diagnosing and
treating cancer. Jupiter Medical Center’s interventional radiologists
utilize minimally invasive techniques that result in fewer hospital stays,
safer procedures and faster recovery.
Interventional radiologists specialize in minimally invasive, targeted
treatments. They have in-depth knowledge of the least invasive treatments
available, coupled with diagnostic and clinical expertise across all specialties.
These physicians use image guidance for the nonsurgical treatment of a
variety of diseases, resulting in better outcomes, less pain, and faster
recovery compared to open surgery. Many conditions that once required
traditional open surgery can now be treated with safer, nonsurgical procedures.
