Interventional procedures offer several benefits over traditional surgery, including:
Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions lead to quicker recovery and less pain. Targeted treatment: Greater precision in targeting cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Shorter hospital stay: Many procedures are outpatient or require only a short hospital stay.
However, they also come with certain risks, such as:
Infection: Any procedure that breaks the skin can lead to infection. Bleeding: Especially with procedures like biopsy or chemoembolization. Damage to surrounding tissues: Though rare, there is a risk of damaging nearby organs and tissues.
