"Precision poisoning" in blood vessels! Interventional embolization + perfusion: starve the tumor to death, poison the cancer cells to death
Are you afraid of surgery for liver cancer and lung cancer? A thin needle makes the tumor "starved and poisoned"!
1️⃣ Principle in one sentence
▪️ Intubate into the tumor blood vessels → Embolytics block the nutrient entrance (starve the tumor)
▪️ Synchronize the infusion of high-concentration chemotherapy drugs (toxins kill cancer cells, side effects are 10 times less than systemic chemotherapy!)
2️⃣ Suitable for these patients
✅ Middle and late stage liver cancer/lung cancer (tumors are too large to be operated on)
✅ Tumors that are ineffective or recurrent due to chemotherapy
✅ Old and weak people who are afraid of surgery
✅ First aid for massive bleeding in tumors (immediate hemostasis)
3️⃣ Four steps of treatment
▪️ Local anesthesia puncture: needle eye at the root of the thigh (wound <2mm)
▪️ Angiography: Find the "food channel" blood vessels of the tumor under X-ray
▪️ Injection + embolization: first infuse chemotherapy drugs, then block the blood vessels
▪️ Pull out the needle and press: apply a Band-Aid, and you can get out of bed in 6 hours
✔️ Compared with systemic chemotherapy
▪️ Side effects: less hair loss and nausea vs Severe vomiting and hair loss
▪️ Dosage: 10 times higher local dose in tumor vs. average distribution throughout the body
▪️ Efficacy: 1-2 years longer survival for liver cancer vs. only a few months
⚠️ Important reminder
▫️ May have low fever and liver pain after surgery (1-3 days to relieve)
▫️ Need to combine targeted drugs/immunotherapy to prevent recurrence
▫️ Those with severe vascular malformations need to assess the risk
Anti-cancer is not just about surgery and chemotherapy!
