Many conditions that once required surgery can now be treated with interventional radiology (IR). When compared to open surgery, minimally invasive IR treatments result in:

• Less risk of complications
• Less pain
• Faster recovery

Interventional radiologists use embolization to block one or more blood vessels or abnormal vascular channels to treat certain conditions. IR is currently available to treat:

• Enlarged prostate (BPH): For men with an enlarged prostate (BPH), an IR procedure called prostate artery embolization (PAE) shrinks the prostate by cutting off its blood supply.
• Varicoceles: Interventional radiology blocks blood flow to enlarged veins that feed the testicles and cause varicoceles. Learn more about this IR procedure.

This new scanning technique can detect prostate cancer that is often missed with other scans. The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) scan helps doctors:

• Locate cancer in the prostate and in other parts of the body if it has spread
• Monitor the effectiveness of treatments already underway for prostate cancer
• Plan treatment for newly diagnosed or recurrent prostate cancer

With its remarkable precision, the PSMA PET/CT imaging is significantly improving prostate cancer detection.

When the best treatment for your cancer is radiation therapy, our Advanced Therapies Center delivers. In a comfortable, personal setting, we provide:

• Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
• Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
• Electron Beam Radiation Therapy

These sophisticated radiation therapies are not widely available at other treatment facilities in the region.
