Interventional Radiologist Questions Interventional Radiology

Why should I consider interventional radiology?

My doctor thinks I should go for interventional radiology to treat a tumor that I have on my leg. He says it's less invasive than having surgery for it. I mean, I do agree with him, but I'm on the fence. Is this a better option than surgery?

Well, it depends on the type of tumor. Ask for a consult the the interventional radiologist.

I would not go for intervention radiology
Try interventional first if the cancer is localized
