Tumor Blood Supply Embolization
- Molecular classification
- Interventional Procedure, Medical Device, Drug Delivery System
01
Overview
Tumor blood supply embolization is a minimally invasive interventional procedure designed to block or significantly reduce the blood flow to a tumor. By depriving the tumor of oxygen and nutrients, this technique aims to shrink the tumor, slow its growth, or make it more amenable to other treatments. It involves catheter-based delivery of embolic agents to occlude tumor-feeding arteries, leading to ischemia and necrosis of tumor tissue.
