Tumor Ablation Program
Tumor Ablation Program
The Cross-sectional Interventional Radiology (CSIR) Tumor Ablation Program offers patients localized treatment of a variety of cancers and conditions. Treatments offered will depend on a number of factors including type of tumor and location.
Some of the conditions we treat include:
- Liver cancer/neoplasm
- Renal cancer/neoplasm
- Adrenal cancer/neoplasm
- Thyroid neoplasm
- Prostate neoplasm
- Metastatic lymph nodes
- Endometriosis
Our Approach
The CSIR team at U-M Health has the most experience with ablative therapies and has been performing image-guided tumor ablation since 1999. Our team works closely with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals including hepatologists, medical and surgical oncologists, transplant surgeons, urologists, radiation oncologists and interventional radiologists to provide personalized care. We provide state-of-the-art imaging and minimally-invasive cancer treatments using all of the latest ablation technologies including: microwave, radiofrequency, cryoablation, ethanol and ultrasound (histotripsy).
Combined with our expertise of advanced diagnostic imaging (multi-phase CT, MRI, PET, contrast-enhanced US), our ablation team delivers optimal treatment outcomes for our patients. Our tumor ablation program has successfully treated thousands of patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer, renal cancer, adrenal cancer, prostate cancer, among other sites of disease (lymph nodes, thyroid, etc).
Our CSIR faculty lead ground-breaking research programs in cancer imaging and intervention. We are inventing the future of image-guided tumor ablation including the development and clinical validation of histotripsy and novel image-guidance techniques (MRI-US) that will improve tumor targeting and confirm treatment success in real time.
